Laura was raised to hide who she was. She'd been told repeatedly to never reveal her Cherokee heritage or the fact that she'd been attacked by her own father. And no one should ever know she had the second sight, or they might think she was crazy or possessed. Somehow, Laura built a life on her own, married a good man who adored her, and had children, all while managing to keep her secrets. She was determined to raise her children in a home filled with love and support, rather than in an atmosphere of fear and pain like the one she'd known.

Laura was born in Indian Territory in 1903. Half Cherokee, she was taught that her heritage was shameful by a vicious, abusive father. A father who not only abused her and her siblings, but made her believe that she was at fault. She was extremely intuitive during a time when such a gift was considered proof of the devil's work, and told that if people found out, many of them would consider her crazy or possessed. 

In Her Triumph, we share Laura’s struggles to raise her children to adulthood in a world with little respect or resources for families torn apart by hardships beyond their control, and her anguish and pain when the country is again caught up in war in Korea and World War II. Her Triumph chronicles Laura’s children’s growth into strong, successful adults inspired by their mother’s love and example. And we see Laura, after years of selfless struggle, finally able to find confidence in herself and her gifts.

Something has happened and the children are hungry. So hungry they cannot see straight. All the cupboards are empty and their stomachs won't stop growling. Has it only been days? It feels like weeks. They must eat...they must devour...anything they can...their lives depend on it.
