A Journey from Darkness to Light
Bianella Orozco-DeLaHoz & Alain Orozco
On the morning of June 9, 1982, in a bright and beautiful upscale Miami neighborhood, Alain and Nella’s lives change forever when their mother waves the 11-year-old twins goodbye for school.
Shortly after seeing her children off, she is murdered in their family home, along with Kiko, her brother, and the twins' beloved uncle. How did this happen? What would happen next? How will Alain and Nella survive?
Redeemed tells the extraordinary story of the journey that Alain and Nella make as they navigate the world without their beloved mother. They live in a world of danger, as their father is a drug dealer, involved with other Colombian dealers. Money, millions of dollars, come and go. Violence is everywhere, and the world of crime provides a powerful lure for Alain, who winds up selling drugs with his father.
Nella and Alain lose almost everyone and everything. And then Nella loses her beloved brother for ten years while he is in prison for drug dealing. But in prison, Alain uncovers his family’s deepest, darkest secrets, including the murder of their mother. Alain and his sister Nella might never recover from the truth. But with faith, hard work, the love of their families, and the love of God, they are redeemed.
