From one pageant winner to another, Christina Meredith’s life experience and real-life Cinderella story are beyond inspirational to me, and I’m so proud of her. She is an overcomer like few I’ve ever read about. But what impresses me the most is her desire to transform the foster care system and use her challenges to better the next generation.

It’s been said that “God can’t use someone greatly until they’ve hurt deeply.” Because of this principle, Christina Meredith is destined to make the world a better place. In circumstances that would have turned others toward bitterness and despair, Christina has managed to turn the unspeakable heartache of a horrible childhood into hope and a blessing—not only for other victims of abuse but for anyone who reads her book. Passionately told, her compelling life story is one of triumph over pain while clinging to the perfect love of her heavenly Father. She’s a true inspiration!

Christina Meredith is a remarkable woman, and CinderGirl is an inspirational book. Christina is not a victim of her circumstances—the awfulness of abuse, neglect, and foster care—she is a survivor, a heroine in the story of her own life. Reading this beautifully written and impassioned book will lift up many people and turn them to the light of their own potential, to understand that their past does not determine their future; their present is where they chart their course. I tip my hat to a high achiever against great odds!

Christina Meredith has the one-of-a-kind courage and strength that I rarely see in up-and-coming leaders. All that Ms. Meredith has overcome, as she has masterfully written in her heartbreaking memoir, is matched only by her unwavering commitment, and ability, to dramatically impact our world for the better.

Christina Meredith’s story of her upbringing and rise to where she is now is absolutely amazing. The amount of courage possessed in her soul, body, and mind to write a memoir with such passion is truly remarkable. Reading her book without a flood of emotions is impossible for anyone with any compassion. I’ve known Christina for a number of years. From the first time I met her, I’ve seen that she is full of humility and compassion toward others. This book is a small stepping-stone to and a glimpse at where she will go in the future.
