The book explores the roles that spirituality plays in our lives as they undoubtedly did in her vast experience. The central theme throughout, also evidenced in her poems and quotations, is the positive message of overcoming obstacles and creating opportunities for a better life. It provides an avenue for the reader to assess his or her own true identity in navigating the environment within the adaptive process so as to maximize their potential. This is a critical part of human development particularly for persons finding themselves in a “different” culture.
