Lost in the bush for eighty-four hours at the age of three, recovery was slow. During the doctor's visit when she was seven, she overhears the physician tell her mother, "Your daughter is cognitively deficient." Years of mental calisthenics and low self-esteem ensue, God's interventions teach her not to believe the lies people tell her and the bigger lies she tells herself.

The sudden loss of an older brother carves a hole in her life so deep; it disconnects her from God. This story is about faith, family, love, tragedy, and trusting God even when you're mad at him.

Set in the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Saskatchewan, the backdrop for this autobiography is the lifestyle of two-mining communities in the fifties and sixties.

When the author finds she must start life over for the third time, she's relieved. Now, she can pursue a dream. Hard work and tenacity, regardless of a disability, takes her to the top of her field of nursing practice.

This story billboard's the reality "you are what you believe." Guard your heart. The issues of life truly do flow from it.
