Book excerpt: Beloved Daughter Be Loved Daughter demonstrates what is possible when we reach out for support and guidance and totally surrender to GOD, and allow His power, love, and grace to come alive in us. At five years old, Betty Jean was confronted by a man whom she had never seen before. She can still remember his face today. It's hard to forget him when he was so close and what he did was so unforgettable. Because of what she had learned and had been exposed to as a little girl, she instinctively knew what she had to do in order to stay alive. Beloved Daughter Be Loved Daughter reminds us of how we can survive anything and everything at any time, and in every season. What time is it? It is now. From hardship to triumph, Beloved Daughter Be Loved Daughter is about a journey from childhood to adulthood. It's about having to keep her family secrets to be sure that her family would be allowed to stay together. In order to keep these secrets, she often tried to fix, control, perform, and help other's- not realizing that she was the one who needed to be attended to the most, (what is denied cannot be healed.) This life story is a courageous and transparent testimony of a child born into hardship, pain, confusion, poor choices, and unpredictability. It is ultimately, a story about forgiveness and overcoming great odds.In facing life's challenges, (including attacks, trials, suicide, and addictions in many forms) Betty Jean shares her remarkable healing process of hope, inspiration, victory, and redemption.
Download or read book Saving Each Other written by Victoria Jackson and published by Vanguard. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the surface, Victoria Jackson is the American Dream personified: from a troubled childhood and unfinished high school education, she overcame immeasurable odds to create a cosmetics empire valued at more than half a billion dollars. Married to Bill Guthy—self-made principal of infomercial marketing giant Guthy-Renker—Victoria’s most treasured role is mother to three beautiful, beloved children, Evan, Ali, and Jackson. Suddenly, Victoria’s dream life is broken as she begins to battle a mother’s greatest fear. In 2008, her daughter, Ali, began experiencing unusual symptoms of blurred vision and an ache in her eye. Ali’s test results led to the diagnosis of Neuromyelitis Optica. NMO is is a little understood, incurable, and often fatal autoimmune disease that can cause blindness, paralysis, and life-threatening seizures, and afflicts as few as 20,000 people in the world. At the age of 14, Ali was given a terrifying prognosis of four to six years to live. Saving Each Other: A Mother Daughter Love Story begins just as Victoria and Bill learn of Ali’s disease, starting them on a powerful journey to save Ali, their only daughter, including bringing together a team of more than fifty of the world’s leading experts in autoimmune and NMO-related diseases to create the Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation. Told in alternating viewpoints, Victoria and Ali narrate their very different journeys of coming to terms with the lack of control that neither mother nor daughter have over NMO, and their pioneering efforts and courage to take their fight to a global level. Bringing their story to light with raw emotion, humor, warmth, and refreshing candor, Saving Each Other is the extraordinary journey of a mother and daughter who demonstrate how the power of love can transcend our greatest fears, while at the same time battling to find a cure for the incurable.
