Sometimes the perils of life can cause one to find themselves in situations and circumstances that are challenging, humiliating, and even debilitting.  Where does one find the strength and the courage to endure?

From abandonment to abortion, from illness to illicit affairs, from mental illness to molestation, from drug abuse to physical abuse; though each story is different, there is one common thread, and that is the will and the determination to persevere, despite the odds that were seemingly stacked against them.

Their story might be your story, or that of a friend or loved one.
