It is both a heartwarming and a heartrending story. There are difficult episodes, some traumatic, in Maria's life surrounding her hope and effort to bring her family to America. There are similarities to Joseph in the Bible who said \"... you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. Genesis 50:20 NKJV. Maria's story culminates when she returns to Cuba for the first time after 50 years on a missions trip and she discovers a miracle gift God has for her. One year later her minister son returns to Cuba and retrieves the \"gift.\" As he boards his airliner to come home..with the gift in hand he recounts its backstory to minister companions. Eavesdropping on this conversation is a journalist who, visibly moved, hands the son his business card stating that this is a story that must be told. This is that story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-17420249\"\u003eMaria Wells and Joel Wells\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Joel Wells\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.23d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798227181350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL036000\"\u003eInspirational\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO026000\"\u003eMemoirs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joel Wells","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43827377504395,"sku":"9798227181350","price":18.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_c17492d5-f678-4ea3-9504-59623c249cf1.jpg?v=1755531490","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/god-meant-it-for-good-a-cuban-refugee-story-9798227181350","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
