Darrow draws on her experience on America's Next Top Model to expose the lies we are told about our worth being tied to our appearance. She shows how we can reclaim true and lasting beauty-- the kind that doesn't depend on self-doubt, exploitation, or comparison. Only when we learn to see ourselves as God does can we leave behind our culture's definitions and demands and find joy.
