My name is Maria, the same name as our holy virgin mother. I always imagined that because Mary was my mother and the queen of heaven that somehow made me a princess in God’s kingdom. That was when I was 5 years old. Now at 13 I’m not even sure if I’m a child of God anymore. Instead I feel like the blood red stain of sin that is too dark to enter the kingdom of light let alone be its princess. The things I’ve been made to do are so dirty, so shameful, that Carlos tells me no respectable person will ever want anything to do with me. He laughs and says “forget about God. He abandoned you a long time ago Chica. You’re nothing but a whore, why would God want anything to do with you?” I pray that he was wrong. Every day I pray that somehow God will still hear me, forgive me and lead me across the deadly dark desert like Moses led his people from slavery to freedom. Would God send me and girls like me a Moses? Would God bother to send a prophet to free a bunch of sin stained whores?
