Book excerpt: This book shares the wonderful, as well as the painful experiences of a 80 year old woman during her lifetime. It documents the many attempts Satan made throughout her life to sidetrack and/or destroy her. Each time, God covered her securely in a safe place, under His wings, "IN THAT SECRET PLACE." Additionally, the book brings comfort, encouragement, and renewed strength to those who do not believe that they can be successful because of poor economic, social, and cultural conditions. Because of the faith that her mother taught her, she became the successful, Christian woman of today.
