the girl with no name by Marina Chapman. What an incredible book. As a child of not quite five, she was abducted from her family yard and left in the jungle, totally alone. This book is the story of her survival in the jungle for a number of years before finally being found and returned to “civilization.” I use the word civilization loosely – the locations she ended up in were abusive and degrading. She was essentially a slave.
The book only tells the first part of the story, until she was perhaps 17. But the pictures which are included are all from her later life and show a happy wife, mother, and grandmother. I can’t wait to read the next installment. Given that this book was published in April of 2012, the next part should be out soon, but I haven’t seen any references to it yet.
Sounds like a very interesting book. Will have to put it on my Amazon wish list. I've read a couple of books recently which were about the afterlife. One, Dying To Be Me, by Anita Moorjani was about an incredible near-death experience she had after a 4 year battle with cancer. The other, The Afterlife of Billy Fingers, by Annie Kagan is about her brother Billy who passed away after years of drug abuse and who started to visit with her 3 weeks after his passing. He tells a wonderful story of where he was and what it was like to be 'dead', thus allowing us all to get much more information than is usually found in and NDE story. Both books are beautifully written and extremely inspirational.
ReplyDeleteI got this book from the library, so that may work for you, too. I will write your suggestions on my library list for my next visit and let you know here what I think of them. Thanks for the suggestion.
