"She stood in the storm, and when the wind did not blow her way, she adjusted her sails."
-Elizabeth Edwards
This girl is based on a magazine picture.
Magazine girl was more glamorous but this lady seems to be a stoic, strong young woman -
ready to face whatever life throws her way with dignity and inner strength.
