"From rag dolls to riches...rebellion to redemption...with a familiar setting of home as they knew it, I've never been more captivated by the expression of life through the written word. In revealing, what I've deemed, the 'pretty girl syndrome, ' this novel reveals true wisdom in relating her struggles of newfound status, beauty, and power to the inward trauma brought on by personal life choices. Worthy was the author's ability to depict the depth of her being as she masked her fears while playing the part of a responsible woman with no signs of a little girl's dark past. Yet through the power of grace, this novel defines a beauty that is not identified by outward appearance, but by the inner peace of being free to fulfill God's call without any strings of seeds badly sown. This will be a story that I will read over and over again..." -Jaime K. White Hattiesburg, MS Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. (Prov. 31:30)
