This was a good book and interesting story. Prior to reading the book, I'd not heard of Debbye's story as Miss America. Her story is heartfelt and interesting and attempts to be useful to readers. Some chapters give questions for the reader to think about, but I didn't think this was done consistently enough to make the questions optimally useful to readers. I enjoyed the pictures and largely enjoyed Debbye's story. Parts of the book were a little slow.
Among my most useful takeaways were the following:
1 - Often it comes down to understanding the difference between what happens to us in life and what we do to make ourselves the best we can.
2 - Being your true self is your true path success. No one can be you like you can. That's an amazing advantage. Don't squander it.
I appreciated Debbye's apparent candor and her sharing of the good with the less than good in her life story. For her to have done all she has to not squander her gifts is an inspiration!
