Publisher's summary

A haunting memoir of one woman's survival of childhood abuse and neglect. After All… is an inspiring story of how faith and a grandmother's unconditional love gave young Maria the strength to survive a loveless home and, incredibly, showed her the path to forgiveness.

The memoir traces her journey from poverty in rural Portugal to a full and happy life in Canada.

After All… is an inspiration of perseverance, courage and forgiveness.

Good Book

I found the book very interesting and sad. However Maria has got to have such a strong faith to forgive her own famly, who mistreated Maria and to come out of it all without being bitter.
I'm glad she shared her life. That must have been a difficult time to rehash the past.
Thank you Maria for sharing.

Her need for pity

I did not like the narrator at all! She was way over acting! But I tolerated it to hear the story but I could not finish the book! It was so bizarre and unbelievable! The moment she said that she became her uncles sex slave, well that was it for me. If it was true, I just didn't like this person at all and didn't care to hear anymore of her story. There was no way I could have any sympathy for such a person. She was making herself out to have much better character than I feel she has.
