Adorned in resilience, bravery and tenacity all wrapped in God's undeniable favor, she faces every obstacle with grace. Her divine destiny to serve as a pharmacist, a journey "speckled" with hills and valleys, was no childhood conception but a mere "nudge." While she thought her calling to serve as a physician was simply a dream deferred, God's hand was upon her rearranging the canvas of her life. She takes readers from her anchor of origin, the tiny fishing village of Anse La Raye in St. Lucia to the United States where her countless testimonies take root and sprout.

Her selflessness knew no boundaries with unforeseen responsibilities. In her story, there are no villains as she believes that every event positive or negative happens for her and not to her. She is grateful for every "no" that has helped change the trajectory of her life.
