About this listen

Author Norma Joyce Dougherty shares how God led a poor, young farm girl from Prince Edward Island, Canada to live out a real-life fairy tale on the world stage. "I became a world traveler and overnight success as Miss Dominion of Canada and contestant in the Miss World, Miss Universe, Queen of the Pacific and semi-finalist in Miss International. I found fame and fortune," she explains, "but I lost my home, myself and a sense of belonging. It took many years to find 'me' again." Women of every age, every stage and every face will relate with her "identity crisis." A crisis that is all too common in this post-modern era as women search for authentic validation. Teen girls will be particularly inspired by her struggle to live by the motto: "Beauty is as beauty does."
