Shayanna, at the age of 18, was found by a poor family and was adopted. Shayanna remembered who her God was and it was Jesus. She remembered how to read and write, how to compute Math and basic science but she didn't remember how she was able attain those experiences.
As she was too old to be engaged in the Spanish Era and wasn't one of the alta sociedad, she struggled to survive but she didn't have to worry as her God is with her.
