Synopsis
"K.S. Miranda's beautifully-crafted biography takes us on a woman's riveting journey through poverty and blindness. I'm inspired by this vivid portrait of a family's determination to succeed against staggering odds and their unwavering faith in a greater good. A Place of My Own is a remarkable testament to the indomitable strength of the human spirit." - Laurie Stevens, author of the award-winning Gabriel McRay series.
A Place of My Own is the gut-wrenching yet inspiring account of Luisa Luciano, an impoverished, disabled Dominican woman. This compelling, true story takes readers on a tumultuous journey of one woman's quest to leave a positive legacy. Luisa Luciano begins life as a happy, joyful child in a poor, rural area of the Dominican Republic. But her world is soon shattered when a genetic condition that has plagued her family for generations causes her to go blind at the age of sixteen. Severely depressed and desperate to escape the well-intentioned but smothering pity of family and friends, Luisa flees her hometown. Tackling a succession of daunting trials and hardships with unwavering faith in God, Luisa desperately fights to protect her most precious asset --her children.
