Dear Radiant One by Phoebe Leona provides an honest and raw look at the author’s personal journey with all the twists and unexpected experiences in life. The book consists of three sections, or acts, divided into chapters. The first act delves into Leona’s life with various stories of her childhood and the rocky and sometimes complex relationship with her father.

Act two discusses the darker side of emotions that everyone experiences and how the author tackled grief and dealt with the loss of a close friend. She explains the importance of letting ourselves grieve and heal after loss. The third and final act highlights the power of forgiving, healing, gratitude, and letting things go that you cannot control, as this leads to freedom. This author’s autobiography is an emotionally heavy book to read, through personal stories and relatable experiences that the reader can relate to on some level.

While the author deals with some difficult subjects and emotions, there were pleasant breaks of humor in between, including the bizarre side of human behavior and psychology. Leona offers a powerful portrait of life and all the elements that shape us from an early age and throughout adulthood.

Dear Radiant One: An Emotional Recovery Story and Transformational Guide to Embody the Dance of Life is a wonderful read for anyone looking to assess their emotions and their psychology. I recommend this book for its raw and honest look into human emotions. It’s a great book for anyone interested in a deeper understanding of how our life experiences impact us personally, their influence throughout a lifetime, and how we relate and interact with others.
