Satisfaction can be yours, but it might look different than you thought.
Like a lot of young women, Tiffany Smiling had been assured that the path to fulfillment looked like the one she’d seen in her favorite movies: She’d be swept away by a soul mate, live in a southern estate, and start a family.
But Tiffany’s story unfolded quite differently.
Weeks after serving on her high school’s homecoming court, while doctors operated to remove the brain tumor that was killing her, Tiffany suffered a paralyzing stroke. In the nick of a scalpel she lost her beauty and most of her physical ability. Returning to high school in a wheelchair, head half-shaved and face distorted, Tiffany vowed to be normal and live the dream.
And for a season, she did.
But just when the fairytale was within reach, God surprised Tiffany. Wooing her heart, God convinced her that there was something even better in store for her.
. . .And He has something better in store for you, too.
Read Your Dream. God's Plan. and see how the Lord wants to use the broken pieces of your life for His greater plan for you.

My Thoughts.....
This book was a bit different than what I thought it would be. I was under the impression that it was more of a Christian living title that was to inform instead it ended up being more of a combination Christian living/ autobiography. That wasn't a problem for me but I did want to point that out to others looking to read this book. Tiffany had to deal with an amazing amount of adversity throughout her childhood with all of the medical things that she had to go through. Yet through all of that she was able to see where God was working in her life and how He was leading her to missions. This is an excellent story for teenagers to read. I think it would help them to understand how to see God even in the hardest of circumstances. I have enjoyed reading Tiffany's story. I received this book from Barbour Publishing for free. All opinions are my own. A positive review was not required.

With a heart to rescue the unreached children around the world, twenty-eight year old Tiffany has opened orphan homes in Uganda, Guatemala, Brazil and Haiti. She founded the With All My Heart Foundation, an organization dedicated to building the global church and caring for vulnerable children around the world. In 2016, she also founded With All Her Heart, an organization equipping woman to fulfill the calling that God has ahead of them. Tiffany has a passion to see every woman discover and fully live the greater purpose that God designed for her life. She is calling her generation to offer God the longings of their hearts in exchange for his greater blessing.
I actually won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. I am happy to have because it talks about an orphanage in Haiti and my mother does help a project that has to do with Haiti already. I showed her the book and read excerpts and she was excited about the book and went told her friend/president of the organization about this author's endeavors in Haiti. What he does with the info I don't know. I told him he can borrow the book once I am finished with it.
