"The oak fought the wind and was broken, the willow bent when it must and survived." -Robert Jordan
This is the story of an oak and the willow within a single mother fighting for her position in life. Having come across so many experiences in life, I have learned to look into the eyes of the challenges and be prepared, not scared.
Gender discrimination and workplace politics are two underlying evils of society. Even though two decades into the 21st century, we are still struggling in terms of establishing gender equity and justice. Coming from a military background and having served a great period of my life to the forces, I learned this the hard way that you cannot fight everything, but maybe 'YOU' can.
My inspiration in writing this book is driven by my personal experiences; some I won, in some I learned. I realized this the harsher way that people, no matter how close they are, can be made to turn against you. In this course of life, you will fall, get bruises, lose friends, and face loneliness, but all you need to do is learn and grow from your shortcomings. Be stronger, braver, and the better version of yourself!
