**FLEEING TO OVERCOME**
A Young Woman's Fight for Freedom, Faith, and Forgiveness

Based on a powerful true story.

At just twelve years old, Camila's life is shattered when illegal armed groups invade her hometown of Granada, Antioquia. Their goal is clear-recruit her into their war. Forced to flee with her family, she finds herself living in Moravia, Medellín's former garbage dump, a place marked by poverty, violence, and uncertainty.

In the middle of chaos, Camila faces an impossible question:

Will she let hatred define her future-or dare to choose forgiveness?

This gripping memoir-style novel traces her journey through trauma, resilience, and a transformative encounter with faith that ultimately leads her back to the very place she once ran from.

A story for readers who love narratives of survival, hope, Christian inspiration, and overcoming impossible odds.
