Beautiful Ugly

By Shelia E. Lipsey

Description:

Three friends with different struggles rely on God and each other to get by. Layla Hobbs has so much to offer, including a beautiful singing voice, but obesity and low self-esteem hold her back from life and finding true love. Envy Wilson has always been Layla’s backbone. But what about her own dark secrets? She won’t share them with anyone, and it’s starting to eat away at her from the inside. And then there’s Kacie Mayweather. Stricken with cerebral palsy, she’s had her share of men—five baby daddies for six children, in fact. But she’s never had one man to call her own. They’ll need plenty of faith and support from each other to see the real beauty that lies within each one of them and fulfill their deepest desires at last.

Book Takeaway:

God formed each of us uniquely. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. It only these three friends can see themselves the way God sees them. If only people everyday could begin to look at themselves the way God looks at them then this world would be a much better place.
