Review of I Am Enough
I Am Enough by Margy Jackson is the true-life story of Margy and how she dealt with pain, depression, emotional abuse, addiction to alcohol, and her recovery. She tells her story from the beginning, when her mother and father met in Warrnambool, Australia. She also told a lot about her love for music, which led her to join a band where she met her first husband, Bill. This marriage lasted for thirteen years, and they got separated after having two kids and a repeated circle of emotional abuse. However, it doesn't end here, as she meets other men that treat her the same way, repeating the same circle of anxiety, depression, and addiction. How does she transit from all these to a life of peace and fulfillment? Read more to discover.
There is a lot of positive aspect to this book. One is the author herself. Margy Jackson is a very inspiring personality, I must say. I find her life story and everything she had to go through wonderful and inspiring. And her total honesty in writing all these down is a lot of courage, and I admire her for this. Another positive aspect regarding this point is Margy's love for music. She mentioned it a lot in her story, and I felt the connection. If anything else, I find this book excellent for this reason.
There are few authors, especially when telling a story such as this, who may like to attach pictures. Margy did just that. It helped me create better and more realistic images as I read through. I find this positive. I was astonished when she talked about her house being brought on a semi-trailer; just imagining that helped me better understand.
Also, I found the relationship between her and her family beautiful. They supported her and helped her out when she needed them most. The incredible thing was that they still hung out together after the children were more than 30 years old. In our world today, many families get so lost in personal issues that they don't see each other except on the phone. I find nothing I dislike about the book. The book appeared professionally edited.
With this, I rate I Am Enough 4 out of 4 stars. I find this book very inspiring and enlightening. Even though Margy had gone through a lot when she was younger due to wrong decisions and bad company, her later story was inspiring. I greatly admire Margy for her courage to move on and stay strong regardless of circumstance. I love the entire book, the conversational style, the diction, the title of the chapters, and the book's title. The book's title alone lured me to pick up the book. I recommend this book to women struggling with depression, anxiety, and any form of addiction. This might be your light at the end of the tunnel.
