    Tee Hodges is the main character in What Doesn’t Kill You: A Novel by authors Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant. Tee’s life spirals downward after she is let go from the job that she helped build. From there a series of humbling misfortunes causes Tee to realize who has always had her back. This story is so realistic with its trials and tribulations that you wonder if Tee could overcome all the obstacles that she endured. A line from book states, “We start where we start, and some people get a head start, but that doesn’t mean that they will always finish first.” This holds true in this novel and our lives as well.
