My name is Violeta. I am 18 years old and I have one goal in life... to find Him. My mother escaped to America before I was born, where she found the love of her life. My father, an American soldier, was looking for something more to life than battle after battle. They discovered something they never thought they would find... true love. Soon enough, people discovered their undying love and separated them, sending my father to jail and threatening to kill my mother and her unborn child. They did not care for her because of her origin. She could not hide either because of her exotic accent and sun kissed features. The only option was to run, and save their child. So she ran to her home in Spain and vowed to my father they would meet once again and grow old together as they had planned. Just one year later, I was born. The daughter of Marisol and William Heart. About five years after my birth, my mother grew ill from an unknown disease and has been bedridden since. I am now 18 years old and am ready to fulfill my mothers promise. I will find my father and bring him home to our cottage; I will travel to America.
