However, clawing her way to the top of the music industry is not without some poor life choices, regret, and even a young marriage and divorce before things finally turn around. At the top of her game--big stars, hit songs, health, and mental Zen--she meets "the one" who promises his eternal love. But after several years of sacrificing everything for the life she wants, things go terribly wrong. At rock bottom, Jenn must tap the survival spirit she's developed over a lifetime of hard knocks to become her best self in the face of her worst nightmare, ultimately proving that failure....is the best preparation for success. ★★★★★ "Incredible...feel-good true story!" - Amazon Review ★★★★★ "Jennifer...and her book are unstoppable!" - Amazon Review ★★★★★ "The writing is truly fantastic." - Amazon Review ReviewEAN: 9781733956000Package Dimensions: 9.0 x 6.1 x 0.7 inchesLanguages: english
