Michelle Davis-Newell: Ruby Slippers, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Ruby Slippers: Fairy Tales My Mother Told Me, Secrets I Never Shared is a gripping and deeply personal memoir about overcoming life's most challenging adversities. Michelle Davis-Newell courageously shares her journey of survival, resilience, and transformation, offering an inspiring message to anyone who has ever felt broken, lost, or stuck.
As a child, Michelle endured bullying, molestation, and even attempted suicide. In her teenage years, she mistook sex for love, became a young mother, and left home under dangerous circumstances. Adulthood brought cycles of dysfunction, emotional abuse, and settling for less than she deserved. Her life was shaped by choices she made and events beyond her control, yet she found a way to rise above the darkness.
In Ruby Slippers, Michelle reflects on her experiences with raw honesty and heartfelt compassion. She weaves her personal story with a universal message of hope, reminding readers that no matter how difficult life may seem, it's never too late to rewrite your story.
Born and raised in Chicago, Michelle holds a bachelor's degree in education with a focus on Inner City Studies from Northeastern Illinois University. After dedicating 24 years to social services, she transitioned into a corporate career with one of the world's largest retailers. She is also the author of The Bag Ladies of Ebondale, and in this latest work, she brings her unique voice and life experiences to a memoir that speaks to the power of resilience and the importance of never giving up.
Ruby Slippers is more than a memoir-it's an invitation to keep going, a beacon of hope, and a testament to the strength of the human spirit.
