Jeannette's Life Through Ebony's Eyes Elona Washington

What would provoke a young woman to pursue life as an exotic dancer? Jeannette Gunn did not have a troubled childhood, but still, this young Catholic school graduate who had been raised in a loving household made the conscious decision to do so. Jeannette's dance name and alter ego was called Ebony. Ebony spent years exploiting her natural beauty and sex appeal and, as a consequence, made a myriad of wrong choices. Jeannette paid for them all. As Jeannette journeyed through life embracing her alter ego Ebony, she rose from being a stripper to becoming part owner of a strip club. But it was the struggle and heartbreak that caused her to learn her most valuable lesson: Her richest gift isn't her beauty or sex appeal; it's her heart. And it was her Catholic faith which eventually led her to leave the life and reinvent herself once again. The illustrious poet S. J. Petterson wrote, "with great beauty comes great pain." Jeannette's Life, Through Ebony's Eyes is a candid and intimate look into one woman's heroic journey to mental, emotional and spiritual maturity. This is not a story about money; it's a memoir about healing and turning your mistakes into a message. It is Jeannette's hope that her life lessons will help in the lives of everyone who reads it.
