Evocative and informative, this book provides a vivid picture of both the everyday, and the extraordinary joys and sorrows that influence the course of a young woman's life, and her sense of self-worth. Many of the events that she experiences will strike a chord with young women everywhere, and support their own reflections on the meaning of life. The heroine of this book finds hope and the courage to transform her life when she accepts the love of God, a message that Samuel conveys with sincerity and passion. Ultimately, this book aims to inspire and offer solace to young women who have been traumatised and who feel alone with their pain. I recommend this book wholeheartedly as a resource for young women, particularly for those of faith, and for professionals working to support their self-worth and growth.Dr Belinda Harris, Academic, Psychotherapist and Coach
