Life is only for a little while; it is the stage through which we all pass, and our actions determine the continuation of our soul in eternity. The now is insignificant... The always should concern us...

From the day Hero is born, her life is a struggle for survival. All the paths she is called to walk are arduous, as a little girl, as a teenager, as a young woman, as a woman. She will need to fight against her sickly "stepfather," face a violent husband later, confront financial ruin and her escape to Cyprus, and fight the greatest battle of all: to save her children from their wrong choices. Beside her is Alexandra. A mysterious, dark woman who will only show her bright side to Hero. She is the only one who can hear the sob of her soul. The only one who will stand by her side when Hero is forced to become another person to protect her loved ones and to win...

They gave her the name Hero. And left the rest to hover like a threat... Heroine would be the correct term...
