SynopsisWalk to Beautiful is the powerfully emotive account of Jimmy's horrendous childhood and the love shown him by Russell and Bea Costner, the elderly couple who gave him a stable home and provided the chance to complete his education. Jimmy says of Bea, 'She changed every cell in my body.', * NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER* Imagine yourself a thirteen-year-old hundreds of miles away from home, in a strange city, and your mom leaves you at a bus station parking lot and drives off into the night with her lover. That's the real life story of country music star Jimmy Wayne. It's a miracle that Jimmy survived being hungry and homeless, bouncing in and out of the foster care system, and sleeping in the streets. But he didn't just overcome great adversity in his life; he now uses his country music platform to help children everywhere, especially teenagers in foster care who are about to age out of the system.

Review of Walk To Beautiful by Jimmy Wayne.
I firmly believe Walk To Beautiful should be on everyone's "must read" list! Author Jimmy Wayne's life story may shock you and break your heart, but it will also uplift you and inspire you. It may even change your life. It has inspired me to look into becoming a member of a foster grandparent group, and I am setting aside money now to shop at Christmas for a foster child in need. Read this book. Take it to heart. Do something to make a difference in the life of a child in need.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Jimmy Wayne has an exceptional story and inspiring life
Everyone should read this book for inspiration. It is a testimony to the fact that when someone takes an interest in a child's life, things can change. Jimmy Wayne is a remarkable person and proof that it is not where you come from, but where you want to go, with the Lord's help, that is important in life.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
