A has been cocooned all her life. Even when she got married, she was pampered, never lifted a finger except when she had to breastfeed her child. She never worked because her family came from old money and her husband was just as rich. She was living a perfect life until she learned an ugly truth… her husband was dealing with illegal activities! When he was arrested, every thing he owned was frozen, to be given back to the people he duped. Naturally, she was devastated. Her parents are getting on their years and their riches were either used to finance their medications and several trips to the hospital or was wasted in a networking scheme.

She was faced with the hard facts of life. She needed work to support her child. She could not depend on anybody else now. So she did. She slowly learned all on her own. And A is now standing tall, having overcome her “incapacity”. She is now a legitimate businesswoman. She owns a pastry shop and has a local pharmacy to her name. I forgot to mention that she’s a licensed pharmacist and a pastry fan! She used the things that she knew by heart and love the most.

She’s come out of the sheltered life she lived and has emerged triumphant.
