They have survived starvation and slavery by banding themselves together and fighting for their very existence.They are dependent on each other for emotional support and their strength is measured only by their willingness to fight for their friendship.This is a story of survival and adaptation. Sometimes existence is only possible if you adapt and overcome, and take what you need by force. Joyce, Rose, and Agnes are fighters and survivors. They are sisters of the heart.
