Carina

Set amid the beauty and splendor of fifteenth-century Florence, Italy, Carina is a story of hope and healing. Abandoned unjustly, young Carina faces a challenging beginning but is soon adopted into a loving and artistic family. As she learns to gracefully cope with her affliction, she becomes an inspiration to others who are suffering—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
