The heroine, Anna Hodan Aden, was a Somali young girl, cherished by her father, a sweet angel with big dreams. She never envisioned a life as a shepherdess for the rest of her days. However, when her father passed away, being the fourth child after her three older brothers, she felt a responsibility to change the fate that had befallen her family. Anna was keenly aware of their needs. At the age of eight, she hungered for knowledge and was already proficient in four major languages spoken in her region. Just turning 14, With her mother's blessings she courageously took bold action and found a job in the Italian army compound. Commander in charge of the whole army was: General Riccardo Ditali, a God-fearing man, took her under his wings. He offered her a position as a housekeeper in his house, negotiating her wages with the broken Italian language which she learned from the Italian convent where they lived. The General saw something special in her - her flair in negotiation, her upfront talk, and her true and honest behaviour. He also noticed the rosary around her neck, a sign of reliability. The unfolding story will reveal more about this remarkable young woman.
