Hope abounds!!!
I loved this book! It was like sitting on the front porch swing with your best friend, listening to her tell you the most important stories of her life. I laughed, I cried, I felt like I was right there with her in those moments that mattered most. The Girl Behind the Smile gives a powerful testimony that she bravely and openly shares with the world!!!

I was immediately drawn in... I cried. I laughed. I got angry. I related. But most of all I received a message of hope. Natalie shows tremendous vulnerability and bravery by opening up her story to world, showing how faith in God and His love can pull you through difficult times and situations. A good reminder that all things, good and bad, can work together for good.

“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” - Genesis 50:20
