“Corazon Aquino has become a legend in her own time.  And in his exciting, informative new book, author Mel White tells the story behind that legend.  He takes his readers back to the childhoods of Cory and Benigno (Ninoy) Aquino, her martyred husband.  He shows how both of these unusually gifted people began their training for their first unique roles as adults early in life.
…God honoured the Aquino family for their faithfulness through an almost unbelievable series of history-making events.  Considered a criminal by the infamous Marcos regime, Benigno Aquino became a national hero and martyr in the cause of freedom on the day of his death, 21 August 1983.  His widow, a devoted wife and mother, told interviewers on that day, “Our lives lie in God’s hands.  Let his will be done!”
