There are no glass ceilings for her, and no challenges she can't overcome.Her diversity, and her belief in love as the ultimate way to walk in truth, takes the reader on a journey that exposes relationships that every American can relate to and either embrace, or discard.Gangi believes everyone should examine his or her life to truly know they have lived, and "Humanity" does, indeed, examine her life from childhood, to overcoming her last fear.
