<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Seeking freedom from a personal identity crisis---a crisis that is all too common in this post-modern era, author Norma Joyce Dougherty shares how a simple scripture verse opened a whole new world for her, giving her a radiant face free from shame and leading her to a place her heart calls "home." For this Island Girl, it became the true shoreline.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Everyone loves a good fairy tale and Island Girl: A Triumph of the Spirit, from author Norma Joyce Dougherty, fits the bill. Norma shares how in 1970, God led her, a poor, young farm girl from Prince Edward Island, Canada to live out a real-life fairy tale on the world stage. "I became a world traveler and overnight success as Miss Dominion of Canada and contestant in the Miss World, Miss Universe, Queen of the Pacific, and semi-finalist in Miss International. She found fame and fortune," but adds, "I lost my home, my self, and a sense of belonging. It took many years to find 'me' again." Women of every age will relate with her identity crisis--a crisis that is all too common in this post-modern era due to the bombardment of direct marketing campaigns designed to focus our goals on looking, acting, and being someone we're not. Norma Joyce recounts her story in a lively "fairy-tale" theme as she shares the long journey from a world where lies and deception prevail to one where the truth of Jesus Christ is her power source, her light, radiance, beauty, peace, joy and her triumph.</p>
