Publisher's Synopsis
Courageous Overcomers is a collection of stories from men and women of the Bahamas who have braved tempestuous storms and lived to tell the tale. While many of these stories are born from the seed of domestic situations gone awry, some are just ordinary lives taking an extraordinary turn. The good news is each one bravely shares their story with the hope of steering others away from having to encounter the same grievous challenges.
