About the author

Barbara Barrington Jones has traveled as a CES speaker for more than twenty years, speaking to women from Weiser, Idaho to Beijing, China. As the author of five books for women, International Image Consultant, fashion designer, and former professional classical ballerina, she has also lived through a twelve-year abusive marriage ending in the suicide of her husband.

Barbara spends her life seeking to empower women to realize their divine destiny - to be happy, look great, and find peace. She helps bring out the best in people, gives hope to those who have little or no hope, and love to those who have never felt loved, a listening ear to those who have never had the courage to talk, and a hug to those who have never been hugged.

I read this as a teenager - I even wrote Barbara and she wrote me back. Let's just say she caused even more trauma to my already difficult teen years.

This was exactly what I needed during this time of my life. I found so much solace and strength from Sis. Jones' advice and examples.

Great book,by a great person. I first heard of her when I attended EFY. What an amazing speaker. Then, years later, I got to hear her again at my Stake Conference. Loved the book.
