One year after her traumatic experience, she returns to her professiona as a public school administrator, strong and prepared to continue her phenomenal reputation as a no non-sense high school leader. The novel is a perfect literary example of man vs. the universe. The author now shares her experience in multiple venues to support liver and organ transplants across the nation.
