Life's journey can represent many views; knowing what is important will provide the clarity we need.

With its combination of personal experiences, this book does more than engage the reader with the story of a mother that disengages from her nine children, ending up in a mental asylum to a young boy's struggles growing up to adulthood. It is a thought-provoking book that offers an in-depth understanding of the events and the lives that became part of the story.

This is a story that needs to be told, as the many events that have unfolded, also reflect on current events giving food for thought on core values. We have reached a stage where understanding our personal journey in times of both darkness and light, gives rise to more appreciation of the meaning and service behind each lesson.
