From Misfortune to Miracle

Once in a loveless marriage, Tammy made a bold decision to leave the family with three kids, just with her very limited savings. During a few years, Tammy supported the family all on her own, she becomes a stronger and more independent woman with ChickenSoup’s support. At the same time, a miracle comes to her – she found her true love and started a new marriage!
