Review of Walk To Beautiful by Jimmy Wayne.
I firmly believe Walk To Beautiful should be on everyone's "must read" list! Author Jimmy Wayne's life story may shock you and break your heart, but it will also uplift you and inspire you. It may even change your life. It has inspired me to look into becoming a member of a foster grandparent group, and I am setting aside money now to shop at Christmas for a foster child in need. Read this book. Take it to heart. Do something to make a difference in the life of a child in need.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Jimmy Wayne has an exceptional story and inspiring life
Everyone should read this book for inspiration. It is a testimony to the fact that when someone takes an interest in a child's life, things can change. Jimmy Wayne is a remarkable person and proof that it is not where you come from, but where you want to go, with the Lord's help, that is important in life.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
