Definition of a MiracleiUniverse, 29 mar 2010 - 408 páginas Eight year-old Zaara and her family move to Ghana when her parents get tired of life in the U.K. A precocious child with Cerebral Palsy, she finds herself thrust into a society where her disability is not understood and is attributed to a spiritual cause. As a result, shes taken to various charismatic crusades and other spiritual prayer houses in search of a seemingly elusive healing. Her Christian mother and Muslim father whod lived harmoniously in the past, start squabbling incessantly, to the extent that Zaara and her siblings fear their family is disintegrating. Going through culture shock, she searches for her place in a society where shes often stared at and talked about, as she discovers her inner strength and comes to terms with her disabilities. |
