Summary
Christiana Mara Coelho was born into extreme poverty in Brazil. After spending the first seven years of her life with her mother in the forest caves outside São Paulo and then on the city streets, where they begged for food, she and her younger brother were put up for adoption. When the door closed on the only life Christiana had ever known and on the woman who protected her with all her heart, a new one opened. As Christina Rickardsson, shes was raised by caring adoptive parents in Sweden, far from the favelas of her childhood. Accomplished and outwardly "normal, " Christina is also filled with rage over what shes lost and having to adapt to a new reality while struggling with the traumas of her youth. When her world falls apart again as an adult, Christina returns to Brazil to confront her past and unlock the truth of what really happened to Christiana Mara Coelho
