I checked the book above out of the library. The copyright date is 2022.

To encourage followers to buy the book I will quote from it:

“We want to keep hold because beauty is so often a porch light in the darkness.”

The author ends the book by talking about a new beauty that we define for ourselves. It is a form of self-care. We’re no longer trying to fit into the standard mold of beauty that those in power with authority have dictated to us as being the only form.

To end the book Ella Frances Sanders tells us:
“The new beauty is radical because it allows us to love ourselves in spite of being told not to.”

Shame thrives in secrecy, silence, and judgment. What if each us could stand in the truth that we’re beautiful precisely because of our imperfections?

What if our greatest struggle was the very thing that is beautiful because we emerge wiser, stronger, and more capable of loving ourselves afterward?
