All That Really Matters

Wow! This book. That moment when we look into the mirror and don’t like what we see because the reflection is so self-centered…What does it take to change our motives and desires? Nicole Deese pens a beautifully compelling story of self-discovery in the midst of spiritual life lessons. This multi-narrator audiobook captures these characters and brings to life the dark surroundings that affect their worlds. The emotion displayed throughout this storyline consistently shone through.

“I want to be more than a pretty face with an addictive personality. I want to be seen as the real deal. Someone who uses their influence to pay it forward. For good.” A wonderful quote from this wonderfully touching story. Molly meets Silas and some other challenging characters, and her life starts to take on a whole new meaning. I loved this story for how real and raw it was. There are many times we all wonder if we are making a good difference in other’s lives. Is what we do actually helping or hindering others. Nicole Deese has put so much of her heart into this book. We feel the pain and struggles of each of the characters. We also feel the joy they receive. What an amazingly written tale that reflects true events in our society even to this day. The struggles of aging out of foster care and the issues these young people deal with. This story is a story of past hurts, self-worth, friendships, acceptance, forgiveness, loss, and love. It’s a story that will tug at your heart, showing the blessings God can give. I highly recommend you pick this book up and read it. It just might change your way of looking at things. I was given this book by the publisher which did not influence my review in any way, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
