That is quite a statement coming from a woman who made her living from being a spiritual healer and a Priestess. I was taken aback when she wrote that she spent the first 50 years of her life insane. We all have flaws and the bible is filled with flawed characters that God used to teach and lead his people, but some of Vanzant's flaws are quite scary considering her age and experience. The rest of the book just seemed like a never ending saga of drama and Vanzant playing the victim. I appreciate how honest Vanzant is about her life and the scenes surrounding her daughter's death brought me to tears. Perhaps I am in the wrong mental state to fully appreciate this book, but I thought it was awful. It's also perfectly okay, that I am not a fan and did not enjoy this book.* If you love Iyanla Vanzant and aren't open to any criticism of your fave that is perfectly okay. I deleted one line of the original review regarding Vanzant's childhood rape. Who doesn't?! I just prefer when people are honest about it. I find her entertaining and probably even well-meaning, but I stand by what I wrote 8 years ago. I delete them all, so don't bother writing one and trying to debate me about Iyanla Vanzant. *I get a lot of comments regarding this review.
