Is this paragraph correct?
"Her life story is so touching. It is an account of hope, resilience and overcoming."
Does the noun 'overcoming' make sense in this context?
(By this, I mean the capacity to deal and overcome very difficult situations.)

Re: overcoming
Without an explicit object, gerund 'overcoming' here is not idiomatic.
