Using both anecdotal experiences and established psychological research, Vallejos makes a case for trauma as a tool of transformation.This heart-wrenching and passionate portrayal of the potent human spirit to overcome incredible odds and to achieve triumph, no matter the circumstances, is a beacon to anyone who has suffered, felt lost or has been buckled under the weight of an irrevocable life altering experience.
