Consider the Lilies of the Field
"Consider the lilies of the field" [is] about a man that wants to get rid of the poverty of his infancy by leaving everything and everyone behind as he scales the ladder of power and fame as an important doctor.

And this is just the beginning of his misadventures in the South of Brazil before WWII. --Anna Carolina Fagundes at Amazon.com.

Born in the nightmarish landscape of post-World War I Ukraine, Clarice became, virtually from adolescence, a person whose beauty, genius, and eccentricity intrigued Brazil. Why This World tells how this precocious girl, through long exile abroad and difficult personal strugg...
