This book tells her journey of dealing with all the heartbreak, pain and loneliness. The darkness that had engulfed her and would not let her come out of the dark pit. One day an incident makes her realize that she has to fight back for herself and her children. Since then she has retaken a hold of her life. She started teaching her mind and heart to like new things, be more creative and make every day goals and then plans on how to achieve them. She realizes that achievements do matter and the smallest achievements warrant celebrations. Why she needs to hang on, to believe for a better tomorrow and not to give up. Relapses did not move her.
