When a forty plus year-old woman decided to change all that she knew and thought was correct in being a kept woman to someone totally opposite from who she was, is she having a mid-life crisis or is she coming-of-age? Schae Jackson was the person who women loved to hate, but men loved to be around behind closed doors. In Schae’s Story: A Woman’s Transformation by Angelia Vernon Menchan, Schae woke up one morning and decided it was time to live her best life now.

Schae loved the finer things in life. For many years, she had no problem giving away the only thing she had worth selling as long as she was compensated appropriately. Realizing her life was more valuable than gold, Schae began her spiritual walk. Although some people questioned her ability to stay focused, Schae taught them all, while learning for herself that it was and is okay to mess up and ask for forgiveness. Now that she has changed her ways, her dreams of being in love and loved seem possible; the question is would she find it in the right man? Or would she fall back into her old ways.

I am not in my forties; I am not even close, but I truly enjoyed every word of Schae’s Story: A Woman’s Transformation. I found myself trying to guess the ending, but I was pleasantly surprised to the very last page. Many women, young and old, can relate to the realness of the different issues that arose throughout the book. Men will find that all women do not believe the stigma that is placed on them. I recommend this book to everyone, because I believe men and women alike will find something they can relate to or appreciate.
