The resulting babies are taken from her as soon as they are born.Â Pola loses the faith that has guided her and becomes embittered and defensive.Â The dehumanizing violence of her life almost destroys her. But this is not a novel of defeat but rather one of survival, regeneration, and reclamation of common humanity.Â \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders are invited to join Pola in her journey to healing. From the sadistic barbarity of her first experiences, she moves on to receive compassion and support from a revitalizing new community.Â Along the way, she learns to recognize and embrace the many faces of loveâ€”a motherâ€™s love, a daughterâ€™s love, a sisterâ€™s love, a love of community, and the self-love that she must recover before she can offer herself to another.Â It is ultimately, a novel of the triumph of the human spirit even under the most brutal of conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Â¡Viva!
