O knihe

SURVIVING will astonish you. An unlikely journey from a poverty-ridden small village in the northeast of Brazil to an enchanted town in New Jersey, the child heroine will take you along as she struggles to find friendship, love, joy, and protection in a harsh world where co-existing is an overwhelming challenge.

Quiteria Cloutman gives us the child heroine in her elementary school days in Rio de Janeiro, where she moves to at age six. Fighting to adjust in a new region that feels like a foreign land to her, she encounters many obstacles that she will handle with resilience and heroism. All throughout her tough journey, the child doesn't lose hope as she is always in great spirits. Her character is never broken.

Moving to the United States as a mature woman and settling in New Jersey, the heroine finds happiness and a whole world of new experiences.

You will be stunned at what you will experience here. From receiving a gift on Christmas Night from a very special visitor, to meeting Katharine Hepburn's double at Walmart, the author will surprise you at every turn. You will even have a chance to meet the heroine's idol-who might just be yours, too. The stories are profound, hilarious, sad, moving, and unforgettable. They are about the heroine-and they are about you, as much as they are about me and everyone else. They are about the human journey. So the door is open. Come on in. Let's survive together!
