About Book: Do I attract tragedy? Should I have made better choices? Why is my life and the lives of those before me so plagued? If I got another go, what would I do differently and why? Riches to rags, happiness to despair, for better or worse – this is me. On a journey to find out if love, trust, and faith in oneself is the key to breaking the generational curses that have plagued her family, Sara’s courageous reflections provide a unique and thought-provoking view on the path to discover inner peace and happiness. In this inspirational memoir, a story of triumph over adversity, Sara’s transformational journey highlights the importance of mind and body healing to help achieve our greatest potential by living our truest self. Her story is filled with broken pieces, terrible choices, and very ugly truths. But it is also filled with a major comeback, peace in her soul, and a grace that saved her life.

My Thoughts: "The Journey" by Sara Ann Key is a profound and thought-provoking memoir that takes readers on a deeply personal voyage through the author's life choices and the generational curses that have haunted her family for generations.   Sara Ann Key delivers a raw honest, introspection, and the courage it takes to share such a personal narrative. Sara Ann Key's storytelling is both captivating and immersive. Her ability to paint vivid pictures with words allows readers to step into her shoes and experience her life's ups and downs firsthand. From the very beginning, I found myself emotionally invested in her journey, eager to understand how her family's history has impacted her choices and shaped her identity. One of the strengths of this memoir is Key's unflinching honesty. She doesn't shy away from the mistakes she's made or the difficult moments she's endured. Instead, she confronts them head-on, offering readers a genuine and relatable account of her life. It's refreshing to see an author who is willing to lay bare their vulnerabilities and shortcomings, as it makes the narrative all the more authentic and relatable. The theme of generational curses is explored in a way that feels both unique to Key's experience and universal in its relevance. Through her storytelling, I was prompted to reflect on their own family dynamics and how they might be influenced by the past. This introspective aspect of the book adds depth to the narrative and encourages readers to think about their own lives in a new light. My only reservation in awarding a full five stars is that I would have appreciated a bit more insight into the author's personal growth and transformation over the course of her journey. While the book is a powerful exploration of her life's challenges, a stronger emphasis on personal growth and overcoming these challenges would have added even more depth to the narrative. In conclusion, "The Journey" by Sara Ann Key is a compelling memoir that offers you a poignant glimpse into the author's life, her choices, and the generational curses that have impacted her family. The book's honesty and introspection make it a worthwhile read for anyone interested in personal growth, family dynamics, and the resilience of the human spirit. A book I would recommend.
