What reviewers liked

This book will help raise awareness for the people that have been abandoned and are hurting. It truly hits the reader like a shot in the heart, especially since Wayne was able to triumph over his obstacles and become the multi-platinum and chart-topping singer-songwriter in the country music world that he is today, as well as motivational speaker.
- Digital Journal
Wayne's story is one that will reverberate with any who have found themselves without hope, love, or stability. Its message of the importance of faith and fortitude will inspire a wide audience.
- Publishers Weekly
"It is impossible to read 'Walk to Beautiful' without thinking, 'If Jimmy Wayne can overcome the horrendous obstacles in his life, I can surely deal with my puny problems,'" he says. "That alone makes the book worthwhile, but that he was willing to walk halfway across America to help some kids he’s never met is truly an astounding aspect of Jimmy’s story. And the story continues ... he’s still out there, more concerned about helping kids than he is in promoting his own career."
