Just before leaving her little village for a new world in Canada at age 17, Teresa finally discovers the gut-wrenching circumstances of her birth, a secret of her own that she would carry onto the harrowing transatlantic journey, and for decades to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAuthor's proceeds from sales of all three \u003c\/em\u003eOddyssey\u003cem\u003e books go to the old ladies of Capistrano, some of whom are centenarian and have lost their entire family.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46418772099223,"sku":"9780998765112","price":1409.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780998765112.webp?v=1769072139","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/oddyssey-9780998765112","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
