The Daughter of No One

All alone in the world, Welki wonders whether she matters to anyone. The Daughter of No One is the rapidly moving fiction book of a young girl living on the border of Nicaragua and Honduras. Her sharp tongue and sassy demeanor make her a threat to her family's security during wartime. She is taken to live with a family away from her MIskito people and eventually gets shipped off to work in a sweatshop in Honduras. Calling herself "The Daughter of No One" because her parents desert her and she is left to make do on her own, the girl, Welki, eventually journeys back home while she also makes a spiritual journey as her heart finds a home in Christ. The book teaches missions from the child's viewpoint as she ultimately makes contact with missionaries who lead her to the Lord.
