Yasi is a young woman living with her family in a village in the Philippines. On the morning of Hurricane Yolanda Yasi recounts the days’ events leading up to the start of the rain that develops into one of the worst hurricanes in the history of the world. She talks of her family structure and the strength of the people of her village that survived and those that sadly didn’t. Slowly coming to accept that she is the only survivor of her family she must figure out how to put the pieces back together, accept this reality of the situation and find the strength to move forward. Because she is a fighter, she weathers the storm and lives up to the expectations that her parents had for her, “Be strong alone before you share your strength with others.”
