This heartrending story shares one woman's inspirational
perseverance in the face of tragedy. Kathryn Muhammad, with
co-author April Braun, maps out the pain of childhood abuse by her
stepfather, the stigma associated with being a runaway and survivor
of suicide attempts, and an accident that caused the death of a
child. But T.O.I.L. is not simply about loss; it is a moving memoir
about empowerment, determination and standing up to fight for one's
beliefs. In a harrowing episode in 2010, NBC Dateline arrived
undercover on Kathryn's doorstep to get her account of how a
two-year-old could have been left to perish while in the care of
one of her preschools. Instead of demonizing Kathryn, NBC gave her
a platform to tell her story as it became evident that she was not
"the demon"or personally at fault. This cathartic life change
recast Kathryn as an advocate for child safety. While T.O.I.L.
carefully explores the pain and agonizing loss of this terrible
moment, Kathryn's narrative equally brings to light her wish to
campaign to reintroduce legislation known as Haile's Bill, which
would require safety alarms in all preschool transport vehicles.
T.O.I.L. has a clear message: even if you find yourself knocked
down, you can get back up and start over stronger, just like
Kathryn did. Sometimes the perceived end of it all can be a new
beginning .
