Beautiful

Unashamed and Unafraid

By: Jozanne Marie, Kathy Ireland - foreword

Narrated by: Janina Edwards

A girl, an island, and an unimaginable secret . . . .

As a young girl growing up in Jamaica, Jozanne Marie's greatest desire was to restore a missing ancestral link and satisfy a longing for the one person she believed could affirm her identity....

Her father.

He had left for America when she was just an infant. After five years living on the island with an emotionally unavailable mother and a young grandmother (hiding a pocket full of secrets), her father made his triumphant return. He drove up in a white 1980s Volkswagen Beetle, enchanting as a dream, and Jozanne believed her paternal protector had finally come back for her. Tragically, her supposed redeemer became her greatest adversary.

Beautiful is one woman's courageous spiritual journey to self-love and healing after a childhood of sexual and physical abuse.

Wow.

I came across this book on audible and was intrigued. It was an incredible journey that had me cheering, crying, celebrating, feeling rage and at peace. Jozanne Marie is an incredible writer, I felt as though I was by her side throughout her story. The audible version did not disappoint. I was so glad to stumble upon this book when I was feeling a little lost in life. I highly recommend this. Share it with others. Read it and then read it again.

Beautiful… indeed.

Beautiful is a hidden gem. It is beautifully scripted and read. It is a heartfelt story of one woman’s journey to healing, fulfillment, and forgiveness. I thoroughly enjoyed the listen.
