Raised by monkeys, a wild child's journey.

This book is a great read for those interested in true stories of survival and human resilience. Marina's story of being abducted, abandoned and surviving alone in the Colombian rainforest with a troop of capuchin monkeys is both inspiring and harrowing. Her journey as a feral child in the jungle and later as a street kid in a Colombian city who took control of her life despite the challenges, makes for a captivating read.
