Xiomara Martinez
This is the inspiring true story of a woman who has witnessed verbal and violent physical abuse from an alcoholic father; has witnessed and been a part of the suffering of those fleeing Cuba to find a better life for themselves and their families. A memoir that bears witness to her personal emotional and physical tragedies yet also bears witness to Hope and God’s great Love.
Despite all that beset her, she never wavered in the darkness, always moving forward; believing in herself and her fate, knowing that her path was lit by the glow of faith within and God’s light above and beyond.
She shares her story to inspire others to overcome the obstacles in their own lives and to see the path that the Almighty has set before them. She hopes to inspire her reader to discover hope for themselves and see the light of God’s Mercy and Love.
