At eighteen, Jodie Grant was treated unfairly when the family estate was divided. Her brother received five million, while she only got her grandmother’s old clothes. After leaving home, Jodie did not lose heart. Through relentless self-improvement, together with the passbook and property certificate her grandmother had hidden in the old clothes, she turned her life around and lived brilliantly.
