"""The author is really good at portraying strong women who leave behind a bad situation and improve their lives through a lot determination, hard work and make good friends along the way. Lisa is a no-nonsense, hard working woman and it was a pleasure spending a few hours following her. I even found myself tearing up towards the end. I am looking forward to book 3."" ""I love this delightful and touching story. It's about a young woman named Lisa who left her dysfunctional family at the age of 18 to move to the city and start her life on her own. At first, she didn't have big goals. She just wanted to make a living and live her life on her terms. But after meeting a successful woman named Janet, her goals became bigger. She started to work hard at achieving them by working two jobs, going to school, sacrificing and saving. Living on her own was the first time in her life; she had friends and didn't have to hide what she was doing. Like she had done when she was living with her abusive father. Four years later she was making a good living and saved almost enough money to achieve her dreams. Everything seemed to be on track with her life until she got a call from her mother which changed her life forever. For a while, it seemed her life was on halt and overwhelmed. However, it became a journey of forgiveness, transformation, and love.""
