Abstract

Prowess is novel about a woman's determination and survival in the face of adversity from both within and without. Willow Adair faces not just external trials-- infidelity, neglect, a family in disarray--but a second front as well in her rocky battle with cancer and recovery from other accidents and illnesses. Through Willow's story, the novel explores the resiliency and strength of the human spirit, offering a hopeful vision not only of survival but also renewal.
