Excellent depiction of a survivor of a disfuntional abusive manipulative family. She remains true to herself, even through all the disappointments in her life. She is codependent. She chooses to be the caretaker and thus punching bag for the family. She forfits her own future and dreams, doesn't go to a great school,on a scholarship to care for her mom. She cares for her dad, and x husband, barely makes ends meet, and finally discovers and creates a mop. She perseveres through betrayal, greed , discouragement and theft... from her family, business partners and uses her brain, skills and tenacity to overcome. She finds a way to survive and profit from the circumstances and choices of codependency and disfunction. It is raw and emotional. Excellent motivation, especially for women and girls who often give up their own dreams to care for others. Only critical observation is that the character supposed to be Joy, is so demure, silent, quiet and soft spoken. Anyone who has seen the real Joy (just watch hsn) knows she is the opposite. She is passionate, vocal, loud, easily excited, and very demonstrative. So it is very unlikely that she was so quiet and peaceful her entire life in a house hold of vocal yellers, while being the caretaker for wveryone as well. This is just unbelievable. Other than that the story is very credible.
