Growing up in communist Romania, Silvia, whose family is strongly Christian, has many obstacles ahead of her.
Her family is extremely poor, so they send her to live with her aunt and uncle.
Silvia is taunted in school for being one of the "repentant,"
but she herself is not sure there is a God.
Wanting to know for sure, Silvia asks for a miracle.
She asks for a pair of shoes, a sweater, and a jacket-things which were nearly impossible for poor families to buy new. Will her prayer be heard?
It is heard, and within a week or two, a box arrives with exactly the items
she prayed for-and in her exact size.
As she grows older, Silvia earns a high school education and gets a good job in a factory.
But then, as she helps smuggle Bibles and her Christian activities continue,
the police start to follow her.
Having Bibles was against the law of the land.
Can Silvia escape the communist nation and the fear of being constantly shadowed?
Written in an intimate first-person view,
Silvia's amazing story will encourage you and make you thankful for each day.
God Bless!!!
