My Hometown was a Coal Mining Town, and I Grew Up There.
Christiana was born in the city of Diamantina, which is located in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. Two weeks after her baby was born, her mother took her and her newborn daughter and hid them in a cave in order to shield them from her brother’s abusive behaviour against them.
Because Christiana’s father is no longer in the picture, Christiana’s mother came to the conclusion that it would be in the best interest of the family to live independently of the public power supply. She came to this conclusion as a result of the fact that Christiana’s father is no longer in the picture.
