You can choose to be defined by your struggles, or to allow them to be positively transformative.

Read this book with the eyes of your heart. Allow it to captivate you as you accept Daphne’s invitation to take the adventurous journey with her and her family.

May it inspire you to reflect more deeply on your own journey, and in that, to perhaps find a peace beyond that which you have previously known with added resilience and strength.

This book is a powerful read of hope, resilience, and a journey into the experience of finding and allowing one’s spirituality to add even further resilience in the face of trials. Providing stability, strength and peace into one’s life. It will provide much encouragement to those who feel overwhelmed and are languishing under physical and mental burdens.

  • Truly inspirational

    This is the Author's first book and is truly inspirational whether you are a believer in
    God or not. Her honesty and gentleness, tinged with her sense of humor will keep you wanting more and you never know who you might find in these pages.

  • Raw and at times heart wrenching

    I loved this book. It is a raw and at times heart wrenching view of one family’s struggle through life in the post-World War II era. The best part is the gaining of victory over incredibly hard circumstances by attitude and choices. Attitude of grit and choices to overcome rather than succumb turning a life of both physical and mental hardship and trauma into a life of giving help, hope and healing to others in such need.
    Thank you Daphne for allowing us into you and your family’s life warts and all.
