Marianne Edwins' early life was a downward spiral of disasters: broken relationships, unplanned pregnancies, severe financial hardships and faithless men, in an environment of crime, violence and misogyny. Increasingly her life lacked hope, lacked peace, lacked love. Then one day, on an ordinary walk in the countryside with a friend, she had a sudden unfathomable encounter that transformed her life forever.

Soon Marianne would find herself setting up a ground-breaking charity to help the homeless, travelling across the world to show compassion to those in poverty and war-torn areas, and ultimately finding peace and closure in the most unexpected way.
