Peeling the Onion is not a biography, it is more a journal detailing the childhood experiences that formed the woman whose personal development stalled for almost 23 years, when she defined herself as a mother and a wife and nothing more, and how she managed to redefine herself and create a new life proving that with a sense of humor, courage and a little luck, anything is possible. The author firmly believes that we make our own luck and if your life is not making you happy, get out there and change it. That is exactly what she did, always remembering to make every experience, whether good or bad, an opportunity to learn.
