WHAT READERS SAY
Kelly O, Goodreads
Brava! 👏🏾👏🏾 After reading this book I immediately shared it with others. It was a beautiful way of using spoken word to share your story. Such a great reflection of strength, vulnerability and healing along the way. What was really touching was how your experiences can reach people who may not have walked the same path as far as vitiligo, but have battled their own “demons,” struggles, insecurities, pain or moments of feeling different.
Elisa, Amazon Review
sat down to read a few pages and ended up reading it in its entirety in one sitting. It’s so well written and poignant. I felt deeply for the writer and the struggles she dealt with. She bared her soul to the reader and brought you into her world. It’s a must read.
Kimberly, Amazon Review
Beautifully written, honest, raw and creative. A book that can benefit anyone struggling with an autoimmune disease. Learning to surrender and love yourself despite being unable to control a disease that impacts daily life. A quick and easy read but incredibly impactful. It really helps put life into perspective!
