Synopsis
* NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER* Imagine yourself a thirteen-year-old hundreds of miles away from home, in a strange city, and your mom leaves you at a bus station parking lot and drives off into the night with her lover. That's the real life story of country music star Jimmy Wayne. It's a miracle that Jimmy survived being hungry and homeless, bouncing in and out of the foster care system, and sleeping in the streets. But he didn't just overcome great adversity in his life; he now uses his country music platform to help children everywhere, especially teenagers in foster care who are about to age out of the system. Walk to Beautiful is the powerfully emotive account of Jimmy's horrendous childhood and the love shown him by Russell and Bea Costner, the elderly couple who gave him a stable home and provided the chance to complete his education. Jimmy says of Bea, "She changed every cell in my body." It also chronicles Jimmy's rise to fame in the music industry and his Meet Me Halfway campaign: his walk halfway across America, 1,700 miles from Nashville to Phoenix, to raise awareness for foster kids. Join Jimmy on his walk to beautiful and see how one person really can make a difference.

    Jimmy went to living on the streets to becoming a self made man.

    This book about Jimmy Wayne is awesome. It is very hard to put down. I don't read much, but WOW I read this one in 2 1/2 days. What made it better I used to know a lot of his family, aunts and uncles and his dad, Jimmy Stewart. It is so sad what some people have to go through. If you get a chance buy this book and read it, just make sure you don't have anything to do the rest of the day.

    A true redemptive story.

    A must for anyone that works with school aged children and teens. The anger that some children display in the school environment towards other children and adults could truly be caused by environments and situations that are occurring in their private lives that are truly horrific. Homelessness for students, especially high school students who have been kicked out or left behind is a real issue and I am forever grateful for Jimmy Wayne raising awareness for these young people. The book is at once shocking and uplifting. A truly redemptive story.

    Couldn't Put It Down

    I knew the general outline of Jimmy Wayne's story since I have been a fan of his music since way back, but I didn't know the details. Now I know the details. Wow. Couldn't put it down.
