It's about staying steadfast to your faith no matter how difficult things are. Yafanaro tells about her many physical and medical challenges, but she also focuses on the miracles God has bestowed throughout her lifetime. This memoir chronicles how Yafanaro lives her life to the fullest, buoyed by her faith in Christ, despite facing challenges daily. She communicates that life is fleeting, and we should cherish every moment we have.
