Victory Is My Name, Book One - Victoria Chames

More than a memoir, the Victory trilogy shares the bold adventures, tragic mistakes, joyful wins and devastating losses of a woman who dares to seek an unconventional life she loves. They said, "You can't do that, and you shouldn't want that, because you're a girl." But they couldn't stop her "Maybe I can" spirit.

Haunting themes move though Victory like an underground river. Family secrets, hidden family history, and the search for Self. The heart of theVictory story is the path of unlearning the untruths we are taught as children "for our own good" that forbid us to be who we really are, and hold us hostage for life unless we find our own way to the truth.

Against the odds she achieves some unlikely and even "impossible" things, not by luck, but by grit and heart and a remarkably different kind of courage. Victory is not about being a hero, it's about taking the life you get, and making it count. Victory Is My Name is an adventure tale, a mystery story, and a first-person window into an unapologetically extraordinary life.
