@ckpublicity in featuring Leonor The Story of a Lost Childhood by Paula Delgado-Kling!
They sent us this copy and we are so grateful! This one sounds like it is going to be absolutely amazing and heart-wrenching.
Synopsis:
“Paula Delgado-Kling followed Leonor for nineteen years, from shortly after she was an active member of the FARC forced into sexual slavery by a commander thirty-four years her senior, through her rehabilitation and struggle with alcohol and drug addiction, to more recent days as the mother of two girls.
Leonor’s physical beauty, together with resourcefulness and imagination in the face of horrendous circumstances, helped her carve a space for herself in a male-dominated world. She never stopped believing that she was a woman of worth and importance. It took her many years of therapy to accept that she was also a victim.
Throughout the story of Leonor, Delgado-Kling interweaves the experiences of her own family, involved with Colombian politics since the 19th century and deeply afflicted, too, by the decades of violence there.”
This book can be found on our Amazon Storefront. We can’t wait to read this one! Thank you so much @ckpublicity!
