Cover Art for "The Apple Tree Wish"
Maria Martinez, Christian speaker, advocate for the fatherless, and author of “The Apple Tree Wish Made by a Fatherless Girl” announces the release of a book trailer sharing her unique adoption story.
The trailer was created by award winning film producer Cheryl Ariaz Wicker and edited by award-winning film editor, Kenneth Sutton. Maria talks candidly from her home in Orange County, California in video clips captured by Emmy nominated documentary filmmaker Patrick Rea with original music by Sean O’Bryan Smith, an internationally acclaimed film composer and recording artist.
Martinez’ life was riveted with drama beginning at an early age: learning at age 3 that she was illegitimate, and being gossiped about by people in her small hometown. She was overcome with feelings of shame and rejection and longed for the love of a father. From 1st to 5th grade, she ran away from the tension at home by climbing an apple tree in her neighborhood to hide and clear her head. As she sat amongst the branches, she would cry, pray, and spill her heartaches out to the apple tree.
Martinez eventually found healing for the void in her heart when she became a Christian in her adult life. Her feelings of rejection dissipated as she realized that she now had a heavenly father who would never leave her. The longings from the past that she had all but forgotten were brought to the surface one day through the dying request of her mother to find a man named Thomas Emanuel. This is when a new and challenging part of Maria’s faith journey began; but it is also how God eventually answered her prayers, granting her “apple tree wish.”
The new book trailer will be featured on Martinez’ website, on YouTube and other video sharing sites. To view the trailer, go to www.theappletreewish.com/book-trailer.
