In The Mirror of My Life is the simple story of a family. It is about leaving one's country of birth and settling in an entirely different country and the reasons why it is done. As the author says, "One's happiness cannot be purchased at the expense of the grief of others." Life is a patchwork quilt of sacrifices. It is about picking up the threads of life courageously when under great duress, and appreciating the simple joys of life that are available while maintaining faith and trust in the Almighty God.
