BECKLEY, W. Va., Dec. 5, 2011 /
Christian Newswire/ -- Candida is celebrating the release of her two books dealing with the topic of living with physical deformities and other circumstances that result in teasing, bullying, or prejudice. One book, "Underneath the Scars," is for adults and the other, "Zippy and the Stripes of Courage," for children. The official release of both books is Dec. 31, 2011.
Candida believes in miracles. She was born with a rare condition called Amniotic Band Syndrome, which generally causes death in most babies before they are ever born. She knows that it a beautiful blessing she survived and wants to show the world that her scars are not a punishment, but instead are a wonderful expression exemplifying God's love and mercy for her life. She believes God spared her for a reason and wants to spend her life sharing hope and love with others. As an advocate of differences, she will be traveling the nation reading her children’s book and encouraging children and adults to be tolerant of differences, while inspiring them to follow their own dreams.
Candida is available for interviews, public appearances, and book signings.
Both books were published by ShadeTree Publishing, a company that seeks to provide a more accessible publishing venue for emerging Christian writers. For further information on ShadeTree Publishing, visit
