Forced to flee barefoot from her town, Maria Luisa learned at far too young an age how to endure the harsh realities of abandonment, abuse, poverty, and more. \u003cp\u003e Deserted by her mother and given away by her grandmother, Maria Luisa eventually lost every last tie to her family, and by 1952 she ended up at the Infant Grange of Father Luna, a Catholic school established for underprivileged children. It was there that she began to envision a better future. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Just when she had started to feel safe, at peace, and hopeful, Maria Luisa was molested by the very priest who had taken her in.

Eventually Maria Luisa courageously made her way to the United States, where she forged a new life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This is Maria Luisa's triumphant and uplifting true story. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Luisa Morales\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595687657\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125855547507,"sku":"9.7806E+12","price":33.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_05f86b9f-0137-4ee8-a4c4-0cdad6e86854.jpg?v=1764767025","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/my-little-grange-the-journey-of-a-colombian-girl-9780595687657","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
