What did you love best about Walk to Beautiful?

This book has been beautifully written by Jimmy Wayne and Ken Abraham. And the fact that it is the true story of Jimmy Wayne's life made it even more compelling. Tears welled up in my eyes more than once while listening to the telling of this heartfelt story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Walk to Beautiful?

I will never look at the situations that at risk children find themselves experiencing in the same way again! Envisioning a teenager living in a filthy trailer with no heat in the middle of winter in North Carolina absolutely broke my heart. My perspective has been changed forever!

What does Gabe Wicks bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I think the narrator was very in tune with Jimmy Wayne's life experiences and gave a believable and empathetic performance

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Nothing.

Any additional comments?

Jimmy Wayne speaks from his personal experiences beginning by taking the listener through the heart-wrenching betrayal, heartbreak and losses he experienced as a child. Jimmy's story then evolves into the acceptance and loving kindness he experiences as an older teenager into young adulthood. And then Jimmy Wayne tells of the success he achieves as a country singer leading to the beautiful walk that begins to fulfill a personal commitment he made to himself to bring attention to the plight of at risk children who sadly age-out of the foster system at age 18. Jimmy Wayne works tirelessly to change this!! I have listened to this audible book 4 times since I made the purchase! I highly recommend this book to everyone!!

Jimmy Wayne brings a beautiful story of love, loss, determination and inspiration. The story kept peaking my interest so I kept looking for extra time to listen to another chapter. Just didn't want to turn my device off. I would highly recommend this book!

Any additional comments?

I listened this book in my car during my daily commute. I kept finding myself sitting in my driveway listening after I returned home because I was enjoying the book so much. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the author's style of writing. The narrator presented the story in a very interesting way. I was extremely pleased with every aspect of this audible book and would recommend it highly!

Unrealistic

Revisado: 02-06-16

Would you try another book from Marie Kondo and/or Emily Woo Zeller?

No

Any additional comments?

The author set unrealistic expectations. I could never possibly go through my entire 3 story home and tidy every room at the same time as the author states is necessary. That would take at least a week vacation or more to complete that task. I need guidance to follow for compartmentalizing the daunting task I have at hand within the realm of the reality of my life requiring me to spend 50 - 60 hours a week away from home.
