The Girl In Your Wallet

“A stirring account of a hard life and hard work.” – Kirkus Reviews, First edition\n“You find yourself rooting for her the whole way. All the while, she’s rooting for you too.” – Melinda, Amazon Reviews\nThe Girl in Your Wallet is a brave and honest memoir. An intimate, raw account of a damaged young woman whose seemingly wasted life is on a downward spiral until she encounters God in a big way, this is authentic storytelling at its best.\nIf anyone had a reason to fail, Teresa had it. Attempting to numb emotional pain at virtually any cost, her life of abuse and abandonment set her on a path to addiction, jail, and countless damaging relationships. Her journey to recovery is a raw and candid look into the life of an addict and the path she takes from utter hopelessness to owner of a multi-million-dollar corporation.\nInitially written to reach out to incarcerated women, the messages in The Girl in Your Wallet appeal to a much broader audience. Anyone wanting to heal their trauma and build self-esteem can benefit from this candid, caring biography. Teresa helps readers learn how to identify their origins of self-sabotage and to stop the images of their worst failures, most humiliating experiences, and biggest regrets that play an endless, self-defeating loop in their minds. Moreover, she candidly shares every step (and misstep) she experienced with a level of honesty seldom seen in print.\nThe Girl in Your Wallet is the enhanced second edition of Teresa Nickell’s popular first book. Added to this version are workbook-style questions for the reader’s self-reflection, with space for journaling. As such, this edition can also be used for instruction, classes, and workshops.
