I started and finished reading this book all in one night last night, with a snoring husband by my side and 2 sleeping cats at my feet. I couldn't put the book down! Liyana Dhamirah was one of the candidates for Red Dot United contesting at Jurong GRC this #GE2020.
She detailed her struggles in life in this book. I am amazed by her strength to push through and to be innovative to support her family. She wrote about not having a home and there were times when her family didn't have anything to eat other than plain rice with salt.
Through all of it, she spoke about how she always spoke to God, even more so when she didn't have anyone to turn to for help. She never stopped trying. She kept pushing forward.
This is so inspiring. After I read the last sentence in the book, I reflected.
I thought how in some ways I am lucky that I didn't have to struggle as much as she did. I don't think I could have survived what she had gone through.
Liyana had a lot faith too, in people and in God. I need to learn to do more of that.
It's a good book and I recommend that you pick up the book and read it too!
Thank you @mdzulkar9 for bringing this book to my attention. I absolutely enjoyed it and I learned so much from it!
