Praise for this book
Partial Review -Magdalena is an enjoyable, empowering read about the adventures of a girl who overcomes so many obstacles given by Fate and turns into a magnificent woman along the way. She struggles not to lose herself with every unseen tragedy that enters her life and her persistence is what helps shape her into an exceptional person. Davina Louise Adina’s work encourages and empowers me with every page I read. I was pulled in by the characters’ troubles and trials. It was easy to see myself in their shoes and I constantly thought about what I would have done if I was in their place. Magdalena by Davina Louise Adina is a special tribute to women, to people who find themselves in an unexpected and difficult situation but remain resilient in the face of adversity. This book is a determined view of Magdalena’s transformation from quiet strength, but reliant to her family and the people in her life, to accomplished self-reliance and a mistress of her own Fate. Truly a bold, influential, and unforgettable book.
