La reina Esther

In 1908, on a bitterly cold night in Maine, amidst a heavy snowfall, a nearly four-year-old girl was left on the porch of St. Cloud's Orphanage, run by Dr. Larch. The girl wasn't crying; rather, she seemed angry. The orphanage nurse who went out to look for her saw two women walking away in the darkness. Almost ten years later, St. Cloud's still hadn't found a foster family for that girl, named Esther. Around that time, the Winslows, a couple living in New Hampshire, decided to adopt another child, but they visited several orphanages before choosing St. Cloud's. There, they heard Esther's story, and she was taken in by the Winslows, becoming a kind of guardian angel for her new family. Her life would be a story of survival and a profound exploration of identity and belonging, bearing witness to the enduring impact of history on our lives.
