This is the memoir of a woman who as a child lived in extreme poverty in Brazil both in a cave with her mother and as a street child during the 80s and early 90s. She and her younger brother ended up in an orphanage and then were adopted together to a family in Sweden. Much of the book takes place in Brazil first as a child and then in her early 30s, she made a trip to Brazil to find out the facts surrounding her adoption and reunion with her biological family. I got this book through Kindle Unlimited and was able to listen to this on audio through Audible. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this book. This book is translated from Sweden, since Cristina speaks exclusively Swedish, since she was raised in Sweden from 8 years old and lost all her knowledge of Portuguese. 5 stars
