“Bethany Connor’s Cherished: One Woman’s Journey to Love and Be Loved captures the human condition of one’s limiting beliefs that we all, at some level, hold that we are not ‘worthy’ or ‘good enough.’ She takes us on her own journey of discovering the key to authentically loving and accepting herself as she is. Bethany gives us a transparent and vulnerable look at the courage it takes to move from a life of despair to one of joy. Through Bethany’s memoirs, we can learn that self-love is not selfish, but rather self-care. She reveals the keys to being an authentic leader in our own life through authentically living our truth. Join her on her journey of transformation and be prepared to have your heart transformed in the process.”

Bethany poignantly and openly shares her journey to self-love. This book will allow you to look deeply into the eyes of the One who adores you.”

“As women, how often do we dare to LOVE? How often do we dare to be hurt by love? How often are we willing to share the journey of wounds publicly, so others can be encouraged to love again? Bethany’s Cherished: One Woman’s Journey to Love and Be Loved does just that for us! Just like many of us, her “tough” outwardly appearance has been her “protection” cover up for long years, till she came to encounter with herself through her CREATOR’s lens (HE is LOVE himself.), finally she has courage to LOVE again! I highly recommend you to allow yourself to visit her journey, and maybe, have a good ride together!”
~ Kelly Baader, Author of Amazon Bestseller A Little Girl Called Grace, Certified Business Coach | Speaker | Trainer with John C Maxwell Team, www.KellyBaader.com
