A TASTE OF BREAD
This is the story
of a desperately deprived childhood, authentically observed through the eyes of
a little girl. The worst poverty of all is the lack of love that her parents
were not capable of providing. Yet she gleans whatever she can and realizes
that her family is a victim of the circumstances they’re forced to live in. It contains fragments of the sad memories of her older brother, who was starving
for love and acceptance just as she was.
The poor girl is trying
to understand God’s will and why there is so much pain, suffering, disappointment,
and crushed dreams in life. No loving home, no stability, no
father who cares, and sometimes no bread on the table. But no matter how many
cruel blows life threw at her, she managed to move on, pushed by her brother.
It is the bittersweet, authentic story of a desperately deprived upbringing as seen through the eyes of a little girl, who manages to rise above her miserable situation at least for brief moments through her vivid imagination and tenacity.
