About this audiobook
I write this book so that these lessons will not be lost. I write it so that my sister's legacy will continue to inspire, not just our family, but anyone who is willing to listen. I write it so that my son will know that he comes from a family of survivors, of people who have faced life's difficulties with courage and faith. I write it so that he understands that he carries within him the strength of his great-aunt, who taught in the humble schools of
Lima's suburbs and changed the lives of countless children. I
write it so that he knows his grandparents' legacy of sacrifice and unconditional love flows through his veins.
And I write it in the hope—yes, hope—that others who read these words will find strength for their own journeys. If you are struggling today, know that there is precedent for your perseverance. If you are grieving, know that your grief is a testament to the love you have experienced. If you are afraid, know that fear and courage are not
