THIS BEAUTIFUL MESS By Knoxville’s Own Shelly Moore Bartholomew

THIS BEAUTIFUL MESS is an inspiring and empowering memoir encouraging women to "Let Go of Perfection, Embrace Your Mess, and Find Beauty in Your Story" – written by Knoxville’s Shelly Moore Bartholomew. This Beautiful Mess, with a foreword by The Bachelorette alum and New York Times bestselling author Emily Maynard Johnson, was recently released by Fedd Books.

Life is full of mishaps, reroutes, and disasters; they punctuate best-laid plans at every turn. But maybe the messiness of life is not something to shy away from but something to embrace. In This Beautiful Mess, Bartholomew lets you into her mess and teaches you how to embrace the unpretty parts of your story so you can transform your perspective and learn how to reject the expectations of perfection.

Bartholomew says about her forthcoming book: "I wrote This Beautiful Mess to help us as we learn to embrace the messes our lives bring and see them as beautiful. My hope is that this book offers a breath of fresh air to those that are heavy and exhausted from trying to keep it all together perfectly." This Beautiful Mess, Bartholomew's first book, is available on Amazon.

Founder of The Fedd Agency, Esther Fedorkevich, says: "In This Beautiful Mess, Shelly Bartholomew's vulnerable and hilarious storytelling empowers you to embrace the unpretty and unfinished parts of your story, find beauty in the in-between, and laugh at life's messes along the way."
