Follow on Google News | Angels Along My Path Of ThornsAn Incredible True Story of Hope, Courage, and Perseverance
Vividly covering the period from 1960 to 1964 Angels Along My Path Of Thorns details the atrocities that nearly broke Gabriela Shea in this deceivingly beautiful place where human rights do not exist and women and children are treated like sub-humans. Shockingly the stranger who abducted her and whom she was forced to marry was not her only problem – Mrs. Shea had to battle other terrible forces much closer to home. “Written with such clear and concise prose and embellished with many photos and maps pertaining to the story, the reader feels as if they are sitting with the author and receiving a lesson on women’s lifestyle in the Guatemalan society,” says Mary Menzel of http://www.BookHuntersBlog.com Instead of getting bogged down in political rhetoric Angels Along My Path Of Thorns is filled with hope and humbles everyone who reads it, despite all the horrors depicted in it, although it wasn’t easy for Mrs. Shea to revisit these events. “Some events were extremely hard and brought a lot of tears to my eyes and I was only able to continue writing with my husband’s support, encouragement and understanding; Gabriela Shea’s motivation is not fame, but to raise awareness of these problems that persist even today; and to help others who have survived extreme adversity and have trouble moving forward. She truly is a heroine in disguise. As Mrs. Shea puts it “I do not like playing the role of a victim and I would not allow myself to be sorry for my misfortune for the rest of my life. That would mean that my kidnapper would have continued having control of my life and I was not going to allow for that to happen.” About the book: Angels Along My Path Of Thorns by Gabriela A.
