—Suzie Housley, Midwest Book Review

Kadian Grant has a way with words. While we expect that from an author, this is extremely impressive in a freshman effort where her soul is so very open. […] This is a quick read. This is a deep read. It is not an easy read, but a s’hero’s quest should not be. The darkness is real. The work Ms. Grant does is real and the battle we know is uphill and ongoing. When the goal is achieving authentic happiness, is that effort possible? Spoiler alert—the answer is YES! The “why” you know. The “how”, you need to know. […] Fellow warriors, those of us who have battled some of the same demons, or have those they love who may be locked in that battle now, will have a great opportunity to give a gift of importance.

Kadian Grant bravely bares all as she details her inner journey towards forgiveness and endeavors to break patterns of abuse that span generations. Leaving a Charmed Life begs the question: what would you be willing to risk to pursue your own happiness?

Not all that glitters is gold. Leaving a Charmed Life is a must-read book that offers courage to face your own traumas and patterns. Kadian portrays how early childhood love, encouragement, and support can help to remedy what happened behind closed doors.
