Her story includes real life characters such as a Texas oil millionaire, Chicano gang members, unscrupulous lawyers, generous strangers, etc. In the end, she triumphs over a horrendous auto accident, a life-threatening brain-tumor, loss of vision, and fire and floods, and gains invaluable lessons about family and finding joy in all of life's experiences.
