After All ...: A Memoir (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798553829742)

Portugal. As a baby, Maria Trautman was abandoned at birth by her mother and was raised by her adoring grandmother. But when her grandmother passed away, the distressed child was sent to live with her cruel and cold-hearted mother.

After enduring years of physical and emotional attacks, Maria built up the courage to leave her country and emigrated to Canada to seek sanctuary with her aunt. But when her uncle continued the very abuse she was so desperate to stop, Maria feared she would be forever trapped in a never-ending cycle of violence.

In a passionate true account exposing unimaginably damaging upheavals, this heartfelt narrative follows Maria's entry to adulthood and her quest to find one thing that always evaded her: happiness. And through vivid recollection of her own daunting challenges and tragic memories, Maria creates a beautiful tribute to the resilience of the human spirit.

Discover the poignant truth of a courageous woman seeking healing through tremendous faith and forgiveness.
