This is the story of Carrie—a true survivor. Although she has been through more challenges than most would experience in many lifetimes, she always comes through them using her innate ingenuity and grit. These challenges included watching her youngest brother survive a life-threatening accident, abusive relationships, financial hardship, doubts about her ability to attract the right life partner, raising a seriously disabled child and a battle with leukemia that led to a bone marrow transplant.
