Publisher's Synopsis
Nickola is a single mother who loves her children and wanted to see them become responsible adults before departing from planet earth. She suffered near-death experiences and her deteriorating health was a constant worry. Her fight against serious illness caused her to suffer depression and anxiety, yet death kept visiting her during her depression, offering her a way out. Sometimes when we are at our lowest, the only solution is to depart earth, but giving up is not a better solution, overcoming our fears, fighting to survive and hanging on to dear life is a better solution. She has continuously taken her medication every day; swallowed over ten tablets daily; painfully injected herself every evening for twenty years; doctors have probed, pronged and punctured her body to pump more medication into her, and yet her resilient to death is an incredibly amazing journey.Nickola's school crush story became the talk of the town when she married the man of her dream. Their marriage was a happy marriage until tragedy struck. A female deranged stalker was lurking in the shadows biding her time for the right moment to carry-out her plan. She was after what Nickola had, happiness and love.This little skinny woman who weighed less than a small goat had developed defence mechanisms as a way of regaining her freedom from her family and friends. The family and friends believed they were doing the right thing by encouraging her to go to the hospital and repeatedly telling her to eat in order to gain her strength. Their constant nagging was annoying her and all she wanted was to be left alone, she hated their over-concerns. She regarded their encouragement as controlling and felt her freedom was being compromised, taken away. In her own little world, she devised defence mechanism strategy to deal with the 'nagging' friends and pestering family. She had no alternative, but to find ways to deal with what she thought was too much involvement in her life from family and friends, and she despised them for it. One single mother's fight for survival became a fight not only against her life-threatening illness but also against the clutches of death that tried to take her six times. Her resistance to succumb to death gave her children hope. Did death give her another chance at life despite failing health besieged by debilitating life-threatening illness?
