This single-mother, immigrant, musician, preacher, daughter, story-teller guides struggles through betrayal, personal tragedy and social injustice without ever losing hope and child-like wonder. With just the clothes on her back and limitless determination, she builds a foundation of faith, love and happiness to sustain herself, her children and the man she loves.
