Captivating Memoir

I met Serena once through a local business networking event and she is not someone you easily forget. She was captivating, not in just beauty alone but had an aura about her - she’s one of those women you want to be friends with because her smile was genuine. I admired her as a young, female business owner- something I aspire to someday. When I recently saw her mention her book on FB, I was interested to read her story. I never could have anticipated the story I read.

I listed to this book within 2 days. In all my years with Audible I’ve only finished one other book. This book was captivating, well written and made you feel as if you were her best friend as she confided in you all of her secret. The only “dislike” I had was the performer- while I think the performer did a great job and her voice was pleasant, I would cringe anytime she portrayed Serena’s first person voice- it came across whiny and unintelligent, something Serena is not.

I am nothing short of awestruck that Serena is the strong and beautiful woman she is today, having gone through so many challenges in her life. I’ve known of people that break at a fraction of the trauma she was dealt. Serena demonstrates the true power of perseverance. I pray that she has found her peace in life. Thank you, Serena, for your courage to share your story and in inspiring others.
