Find it so helpful when personalities such as the author share how they overcame Traumatic experiences especially as a child where the emotional intelligence isn't built up yet. Thanks for the awesome review BOTD

I love the theme of this book, women are so powerful that if they could know such power that they wield, they'll be able to carry themselves with more vigor. Thanks for this review.

There are incidences in life that you feel a strength beyond what you can muster out of your will. If a human being hasn't experience this the he/she has not been challenged enough and will probably never understand his/her life's purpose.

The author's childhood must be hard, but I am amazed at how she used everything to climb out of the darkness she was in. I look forward to reading this book.

I am so sorry that the author had to suffer through such hardships. However, I am glad that she made it out of such a childhood to become a strong, self-made woman and is now sharing her story with others, especially those who might be able to relate to her struggles and find in her a kindred spirit to see that they are not alone. Thank you for the helpful review.

I got my copy and read the first four chapters. It is an inspirational story, and I am glad you enjoyed it so much; however, I don't think this one is for me as it includes heavy topics like child abuse and alcoholism. Fans of memoirs should check it out! Plus, it is well edited. Thank you for the detailed review!

Why the review linked for this book was not part of the email sent to me, good thing I found this page to post my million thanks to the Author Lina Kennedy, thank you for trusting your story to us this book energized my Soul, it somehow heals me for my bad experiences as well in life, also I want to thank you Nadine your daughter because she's part of the reason why I had a chance of reading this medicine book for the Soul. I am kinda hoping though that this is 101% a non fiction story, because I want to memic the strategy of Lina Kennedy thru her success in life and the forgiveness and everything etc. and trust she gave in life and the people around her, because you know I kinda 1% does not want to believe how she's able to do it all given that there's a lot of fraudster or bad elements on earth that can kill a person while she's fighting for her success in life. Thank you so much Lina, thank God I found your Story, I love you author Lina Kennedy. lastly you know what I am not yet done because I wanna research your name as well after doing this review, because I had a feeling that maybe you are that person who was listed as the top 1 richest people in the world way back 2019 because you look just like her? And also I wanna do some research as well on this Buffalo place and University because it kinda remind me as well of Bob Marley about love and positivity in life that a person rich in behavior, well I am just 1% thinking that the positivity in this book was inspired by this Buffalo thing or this is really from your Highness Lina Kennedy my favorite author a trillion thanks once Again!

"the Sugar Queen" masterpiece by an author Lina Kennedy feeds my poor and hungry Soul, this is such a Brilliant book of every Soul like me.

A million thanks to the author who trusted his reader for this non fiction life story of herself, especially Nadine the daughter of the majesty, who is part of the reason why I was able to be blessed and was given the opportunity to read this book, my heart was just overwhelmed by all the tears, joy and success I witnessed in Lina's life, that's why I also took the time to mention some character named in the book who are responsible for the publication of this masterpiece successfully to express my gratitude, starting from Jason her Son who became her sidekick when she began her journey to conquer the world until she get into her business empire Alexandria Professional branched out all over the world.

I couldn't imagine a single mom with her son is able to manage transferring from one place to another a lot of time just to secure a better life to provide for her child. Lina's experienced of being a victim of sexual assault by her own father during her childhood did not hinder her to achieve greatness in life. Despite of her bad experiences and struggles she knew and she always had that feeling that she will do something great and amazing in this world.

Lina discover that gift when she was a child, a voice that always remind her when things fall down that she's never alone that God and the universe will never forsake her, she also manage to forgive her father after so many years of not talking and thinking about what her father did to her and how a person is able to put his or her shoes in a human reality.

This book is just perfect like your majesty Lina, I haven't found any error or even grammatical error, It's just perfect for healing a soul or maybe because of Lina she is a perfectionist she always invested her time and kindness in every work she's done even when it's in difficult situation or not, stormy or not, as mentioned in the book she's a Do're even when it's only God who is watching, I even did not capture any vulgar words, everything is just really perfect for a human spirit and I would like to give it a rate of 4 OUT OF 4 for this is just so AMAZING, this book should be recommended for all ages exept children in gradeschool and highschool without parental guidance.
