FROM PAIN TO PARADISE

The book seems to take on a foreign Hallmark twist as it winds through various joys and difficulties of one young immigrant teenager from Europe, but never quite attains the warm-fuzzy ending of a Hallmark that the reader will come to understand is part of the "misery" of Antonia's life. The golden thread of faith and hope that weaves through the book is the age old promise that God is still in control - if you let Him! As Antonia, your goal in life is to hold fast through the ups and downs, hang on to each win or learn from each loss, and find your unwavering faith!
