About this book
The Artist writes how and what
she conquered on her 54th birthday
described in her book chapter titled,
Conquering 54 Traumas.
See page 54 to see how she
found the pathway to an upset-free
lifestyle!

Rejuvenate your life
The author chimes, the less stress
in one's life, the younger we become.
Don't you remember the days
when everything was seen through
the eyes of innocence and we
felt so care-free?

A bedside companion
This book covers four decades
of a young girl evolving into womanhood.
Sharon began sketching at the
early age of 8, because she had
yet to learn her writing skills.

One of a kind publication
You are welcome to autograph
this artful traveling story book
about the wonderful transformation
of Sharon DeLaCruz's life.

See where you stand
Reading this four part (chapters)
in this book evaluates where, what,
or how you have used your life and
is a fascinating self-help, art and
psychology book.

See behind the scenes
Fully illustrated with drawings

experiences from behind the scenes
of a truly transformed life.

See how she did it
The book opens with a
dedication and a twig of green
garden flowers. As the reader
advances, each page opens
to the next step into the Art world of
her journey. It is a wonderful colorful
pathway each step of the way,
revealing events and special
thoughts that molded
her into what she is today.

Dreams come through
This book will inspire you with
courage to step-up to do what ever
you want to do in your lives; but have
not taken the actions to achieve
dreams and goals in life.

Green Ribbon Award
The Bath Woman was identified as one of the most FEMININE pieces the judge ever examined under a huge 10X magnifying glass. The judge claimed to have sniffed the print to discover the oil paints verifying it's authenticity.
