...is the title of another novel by Cecilia Samartin that I finished reading this weekend. It was another page turner by this great author, that yet again left me crying while reading the last 50 pages. Definitely another book that I can recommend fullheartedly!
While Ana sits at her beloved husband's deathbed, she thinks back on her life and the incredible journey that brought her to this unlikely place. Ana's story takes her from war-torn El Salvador, to a convent in the United States, and finally to a wealthy California estate where she is employed as the nanny for the wealthy Trellises, a dysfunctional family caught up in the throes of a decadent life. Despite her own emotional wounds, she is able to bring love and healing to her affluent yet spiritually bereft employers - gifts that no money could ever buy.
Ana's emotional attachment to her young charges leads to her staying at the Trellis home for longer than she ever could have imagined. As she grows to love Teddy and Jessie as if they were her own flesh and blood, they grow up and move out of the house, and her abiding love for their father is transformed into something deeper and more powerful. Faced with many challenges to her own sense of morality, Ana must confront her own spiritual longings and reconcile them with her understanding that love may have found her in the very place she least expected.
Have a good read!
