Loved every line in the memoir, probably because I relate to the struggles, pain(s), and success of one I love to call Beautiful Yvonne. No one would have thought such a brilliant, gifted, and talented lady like the author would be fighting silent battles.
I was struck by the chapters 11 and 12 of the book. It’s shocking to read that about Joel Duncan-William. Such arrogance, and stupidity some people make of the call of God. Notwithstanding, I have one thing. I hope you do better than just criticizing Akuffu Addo’s in this piece. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander. I love you but some portion of me is not so excited about you because of how you were so unfair to JDM but spared Akuffu Addo even though Akuffu Addo has been such a Terrible curse to Ghana. I do not want to think that you’ve been tribalistic. I admire your admission of JDM solving dumsor though but you have all my love if you hit the street just as you did to JDM.
Overall, thank you for blessing us with you (your story). I’m blessed to be inspired by you. You’re such a beautiful gift! I’m so outraged by your mother’s attitude and even taking you through this unwarranted stress and pains, but it’s my prayer that God speaks to the heart of your mom’s heart. I love to know you!

I cried and smiled and wept
Dear Yn*As a 89 born, I grew up watching you.. if I can remember, my goals of attempting acting back in the day was influenced by your on screen personality. I think I loved your spirit. I always attributed an older cousin of mine to you because I think you have similar mannerisms. To even read of Dansoman and Laterbiokorshie is nostalgic because I grew up in those environs. There are so many themes I relate to in your book I’m grateful that the title and not the hype on Twitter caught my attention. I’ve recently started finding my own answers by educating myself through books about mental health and to become the best version of myself for my loved ones. I write and I podcast and will continue to share my story and forever shine my light brighter.. thankfully, I’m past thinking about what people think… I am not Yvonne Nelson will pave the new narrative for Ghanaian excellence, for those who will allow themselves to be vulnerable and free… to the females and people who look up to you. Thank you for thinking about us ❤️🧘🏾♀️😇🐐

Yvonne is an internationally acclaimed actress. And in this book she candidly shares the many pitfalls that have paved her way to success. But is no rags to riches tale, Yvonne is open and vulnerable and boldly shares her life within the context of a judgmental society that would shame, blame and demand silence rather than reach a helping hand. In the end, this beautiful successful woman reveals a little girl within who just wants her Daddy.

Reading this reminds me of my father who left my mother when I was 3 weeks born.
I remember the kind of insults I received when I was eagerly looking for my father until we all finally heard from him when I was 25.
It is my prayer that the purpose of this book will be fulfilled. Thanks for sharing your story with the world!
