Publisher's summary

Do you feel like you're never good enough? Like you should be living a more Instagram-worthy life? Are you exhausted by the impossible quest for physical beauty but still yearn for the validation of being chosen, valued, and deemed beautiful?

Drawing on her experience on America's Next Top Model and her work as a fashion model, Leah Darrow exposes the lies we are told about our worth being tied to our appearance and instead invites us to look again at the real meaning of beauty. She shows how we can reclaim true and lasting beauty - the kind that doesn't depend on self-doubt, exploitation, or comparison - when we reflect God's glory and embrace our value as he made us to be: strong, brave, and free. Only when we learn to see ourselves as God does can we leave behind our culture's definitions and demands and find joy in The Other Side of Beauty.

Beautiful

A touching personal story of how one model discovered true beauty in Christ and his Church.

Good book with one major problem!

I greatly enjoyed this book and overall found it to be empowering. My one problem with this book is on the discussion on modesty. I personally have a modest wardrobe that’s what i feel comfortable in. However, I do not agree with Ms. Darrow that modesty equates a good Christian. More importantly, I wish that she would have taken the time to enforce that we should not judge people based on their wardrobe nor assume that they are not good Catholics because a woman’s wardrobe is not consider modest. Fashion for some people is a form of expression! But other than that I feel the book is wonderful and I can’t wait to share about it.

Great story and guide to true beauty.

A wonderful book for teenage girls and women. It points out a happier and more joyful way of living than the media shows us and tells us.

As the world continues to struggle with purpose this book is a beautiful reminder of our purpose and how to fulfill it.

Every woman should listen to this book!

Leah understands and compassionately but directly addresses so many of the challenges that women struggle with. We all seek goodness, truth and beauty, and Leah shows us a path to true beauty. This book is deeply rooted in her Catholic faith, but even those who are not Catholic, Christian or who don't believe in God will connect to and learn from this wonderful work. Must buy!
