Carmen M Paz, the author of the book “My Stolen Years”, was kidnapped when she was a toddler. She has been taken from her loving mother Maria Antonia Ruiz. She has grown far away from her mom and under a false truth. On the other hand, her mother, however, never stopped searching for her with love, finding hope in dark times, with belief in God. SHE NEVER STOPPED! And that is based on what Carmen wants to honor her mother. Intense love for her. Faith in God.

Today, Carmen M Paz is a happily married woman and has three beautiful children in her life. Her children are living the life she once couldn’t think or dream of and that is just because of the power of prayer. Through this one of the finest inspirational stories for women, “My Stolen Years”, Carmen honors her late mother’s courage and spiritual resilience. Through her words, she is willing to inspire others who have ever faced loss or separation or someone who is looking for healing after trauma.
