Finding Isabella — A.J. Garrotto

Analisa Marconi has lost her family--for the second time. First, as a child named Isabella Maria Aguilada, when her birth mother gave her up for adoption. Then as a young woman, when her adoptive parents perished in a plane crash she alone survived. Devastated, feeling lost and rootless, Analisa returns to her native Santo Sangre in search of her birth mother and siblings. But, this tiny island nation is a dangerous place for young women who were born there, but escaped lives of destitution through adoption. Thrust into this unwelcoming environment, Analisa struggles against life-threatening obstacles to find links to her past and future. In the process, she discovers the meaning of unconditional love.
