Victory Is My Name is an adventure tale, a mystery story, a window into an unapologetically extraordinary life. More than a memoir, the Victory trilogy shares one woman’s bold adventures, tragic mistakes, joyful wins and devastating losses in daring to seek the unconventional life she loves. They said, 'You can’t do that, because you’re a girl.' They were wrong. Against the odds she achieves some unlikely and even 'impossible' things, not by luck, but by grit and heart and a remarkably different kind of courage. Victory is not about being a hero, it’s about taking the life you get, and making it count. Victory is bitter and sweet, tragic and joyful, sometimes brutally honest, but stubbornly hopeful. Like a Huckleberry Finn born female, Vickie grows up with some baggage, but never loses her 'maybe I can' spirit. Haunting themes move though the stories like an underground river. A family secret, hidden family history, and the search for Self. The heart of this story is the path of un-learning the untruths we are taught as children 'for our own good' that forbid us to be who we really are and hold us hostage for life unless we find our own way to the truth.An adventure tale, a mystery story, a love letter to life, Book One of the Victory Trilogy.
