It highlights the strengths, stressors, strategies and standards that make her superb; notwithstanding the extreme and harsh conditions under which she exists. This book examines the broad spectrum of her past experiences and current encounters, only to show that in the end she prevails. When people said that she had a tail, she prevailed. She wore the veil over her face while burying her sons and husbands, but she still prevailed. Even after her son Jesus was nailed to a cross, she prevailed.
