In this provocative and so necessary book, Jozanne writing and knack for words gives you the feeling as if someone was sitting in front of you and speaking with you. It’s personal, intimate and caresses your soul.
“ I wrote this book because I believe when you speak out it gives others the permission to speak out as well.” shared Marie. “People say these topics and social issues can be heavy, but we are now living in a world where we are raising women to be heavyweight champions. When we address the heavy people will always leave light.”
