Book Cover & Preview Text
Although I thought that the interview went well, I left with the realisation that it was not going to be easy for me on that unit. How hard it was going to be was way beyond anything I could ever have imagined. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 2:9, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.” These words can be applied to that manager, but the ending would read, “What that manager had prepared for me because of something about me, real or imagined, that she hated or did not like.” She made my life a living hell. If I had had some sort of latent mental illness, the treatment meted out to me by this manager would have certainly brought it to the fore. Thank God I am still in my right mind, and I am functioning in a normal manner. I will write as many of the troubling experiences I had with her as I can, and I am sure that there are readers will find some of it very hard to believe. But as surely as I know that it was the grace of God that kept me sane, I also know that I am writing the truth as far as my memories go.

About the Book
Victory through Faith, Friends and Determination is an account of the treatment to which some workers are unfortunately subjected. It tells of one nurse’s unfortunate experience and how her faith in God, encouragement from friends and a determination to be a person of excellence kept her on the right track and sane during a very, very difficult period of her work life. It is the author’s hope that this book and her experiences will be a source of inspiration to those in similar situations and an impetus for higher management to work towards ending such unacceptable behaviours and creating more harmonious workplaces and happier employees.
