Shadows of the past are cast over her well-structured life and threaten to destroy her family. Her soul is gripped deeply and irrevocably by the traumas she suffered as a child. Her tyrannical father with his violent methods of upbringing forced her to run away when she was still a young child. Life on the street was all she had, but it was not safe. At the tender age of twelve, Ioana falls into the hands of the underground. Theft, prostitution and the battle for survival. She is a rebel but possesses an amazing instinct for survival. She grows up ahead of her years with wisdom, practicality and sometimes aggression. These qualities, as well as her lucky star, help her escape alive from the human traffickers. All this leaves a lasting mark on her psyche, but she will need her fighting spirit and unbroken will to control her own destiny to save not only herself but her wonderful children."
