You can be stagnant or move forward to greatness. In Skinny Girl Chronicles, author Sherry Hopper-Wall shares some of her major life events. Th ese include the highs and lows and the fear she developed at an early age, a fear that almost deterred her from creating a better life than her early years in Virginia. Her story reveals personal feelings and details about her coming of age as a young, black girl in a small, southern town; a strained mother-daughter relationship; a failed first marriage; and a renewed faith in love. She also highlights the fact she’s a highly sensitive person and how being so has played a major role in how she perceives the world around her, as well as how she responds to it. An intrinsically happy person, Hopper-Wall demonstrates resiliency and determination in moving forward from any encounter that doesn’t bring about positivity. When she became ill with Grave’s Disease, unlearning unhealthy habits became her primary focus to return to the full happiness she once knew. Skinny Girl Chronicles shares not only the good, but also the trials and uncertainties, which Hopper-Wall conquered with determination.
