To say a person is a force of nature means the person has a very strong personality or character. That is Tristyn Clark to a T. As a young widow, she has no other choice BUT to be self-sufficient. She's a survivor. Smart, sassy, strong willed, with her mind focused strictly on business, and because of prior circumstances, absolutely NO entanglements. She doesn't need a man in her life.
