A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A hauntingly hopeful true story, No Tears tells of a remarkable young woman who chooses to trust God even in the darkest circumstances while bravely pushing past the pain of war trauma and child abuse.

Some people suffer more tragedy in a day than others experience in a lifetime. As a mere four-year-old child, Christiana Crawley was subjected to the horrors of the Sierra Leone Civil War. Forced to run from the rebels who were killing anybody they could find, she saw people burned and dismembered while they were still alive. For months Christiana lived a terrifying hide-and-seek existence, wondering if she’d ever feel anything other than fear and hunger.

But after surviving the war, she swapped one devastation for another when the family that took her to the United States enslaved her to serve their own needs. Hungry, abused, and far from anything or anyone familiar, she wondered if she would ever know freedom again.

Eventually, Christiana gained the courage to seek help from the Department of Children and Family Services, and was able to enter the foster system. This revealed the first glimpse of the good future in store for her.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Born in Sierra Leone, Christiana Crawley survived civil war as a young child only to wind up in the United States foster care system after she was abused by the people who brought her to America.

Thanks to the goodness of God, Christiana went on to attend Salt Lake Community College; met her husband, Brian; and had two children.

Her story was featured in The Salt Lake Tribune in 2010.
