Barefooted Soul.
What an eye-catching book title! And what a
colorful and attractive cover to support a catchy
title.
The book’s contents are equivalent to
a full-length movie with 40 episodes, and each
episode is laden with an electrifying story
that will thrill the reader to no end. Picture
the human drama of a young couple with two siblings,
whose young mother was then just charting a
new career in the corporate world. Imagine that
career being suddenly put to a screeching halt
by a marital compelling drama that drove her
away 20 thousand miles away to a place she has
never been before.
She left the Philippines fearing for her life,
and migrated to the United States of America.
She has been in the U.S. for more than two decades
now. Not knowing what her future would be, she
immediately started working in odd jobs –
from maid to baby sitter and on to domestic
help at the Embassy of Australia.
Seldom do I find a book as powerful and interesting
to read and to recommend to others as this book,
written by a former San Miguel Corporation Head
of Corporate Testing, Imelda Roberts, now making
waves in the nation’s capital, Washington,
D.C., in the field of human resources and government
service.
A highly successful career woman, the MANILA-U.S.
TIMES Ms. Roberts was featured in this publication’s
Executive Profile of the Year (instead of ‘Of
the Week,’ as was normally done), to capture
the whole gamut of her exciting life and career.
Go through this book, and don’t miss
a page. Discover for yourself the strong and
innate characteristics this lady corporate executive
possesses. This prolific writer and composer
never had any lackadaisical attitude in her
entire career. She is always on the go. She
is firm and resolute, but she is flexible at
times. This fine lady has a 'big heart.' She
has a vision for tomorrow not only for herself,
but also for her loved onesl. With good moral
fiber, Ms. Roberts excels under stressful situations,
and bounces back with soaring spirit. Behind
her excellent leadership qualities shine her
thoughtfulness, compassion and her being a romantic
person. She is as loyal as she can be to a friend,
to a boss or to a love mate. She does not settle
for less. Above all, Ms. Roberts has an undivided
trust and confidence in God, her Saviour and
secret weapon in life.
This book is for you and me. Read it, and it
will help chart your own destiny. It will definitely
touch your life!
