A story of resilience and a search for truth after a haunting near death experience. It took more than thirty years and intense research to find the answers the author now shares with those who are seeking change in their life. A story of survival in a world of contrasts. From the trauma of institutional care to a teenage marriage that ended like a scene from the Godfather movies. A second marriage to an Indigenous man came with difficulties due to the near fatal car accident and experiences of racism. The author shares how she overcame all life's challenges by simply awakening to the truth.
