From Captivity to Freedom: A Journey of Faith

At twenty-four, her eyes carried the weight of someone who had lived several lifetimes of suffering. Those who passed her rarely guessed her story written in the shadows beneath her gaze—a story of abandonment, captivity, and an unexpected journey toward hope.

Miriam's earliest memories were fragments: the scent of her mother's perfume, the sound of her father's laughter, and then, nothing. Both parents died when she was too young to fully comprehend the concept of death. What followed was a childhood of being passed between relatives like an unwanted parcel.

The cold wind whipped across the refugee camp as Miriam huddled deeper into her thin jacket.

"I was missing so many things," she would later confide to a friend. "Not just the material needs, though there were plenty of those. I was missing the knowledge of who I was, where I belonged."

Her relatives made one thing abundantly clear—her parents had been different. They had attended a Christian church, a fact that marked Miriam as somehow tainted in the eyes of her extended family.

"They always considered me an infidel," she recalled, the word still carrying its sting years later. "They never said it directly to me, but I would hear them whispering when they thought I wasn't listening. 'The daughter of apostates' they would call me."
