If you had told a skinny little girl from Atlanta’s East Lake
community that she would one day grow up and have her writings
categorized with some of the most celebrated writers in the
country (Susan Taylor, former editor-in-chief for ESSENCE
Magazine and romance novelist Zane), she probably would have
thought you were totally wrong, especially after having grown up
and faced the difficulties that life is sure to bring. Well,
this is exactly what happened to Alonia Jernigan, noted
journalist, author, preacher/teacher/speaker and entrepreneur.
An autobiographical work, The Pursuit of Destiny: Making ‘Yes, I
Can’ a Personal Reality, is a story of courage, perseverance,
faith and triumph. In addition to sharing her personal journey
to success, Alonia also enlightens her readers with quotes of
inspiration, an overview of her “10 Steps to Destiny” and a list
of study questions/reflections to help the pursuit of destiny
become a personal reality.
Interesting Facts About The Pursuit of Destiny:
• Foreword written by the Rev. Judge Penny Brown Reynolds
• Profiles the life of an ordinary girl from Atlanta’s inner
city
• Inspired by a real-life miracle
• Further inspired by President Obama’s campaign slogan, “Yes,
We Can”
• Could, very well, bring the reader to laughter as well as
tears
• It’s an easy read
• George Fraser calls it a “heart warmer…Alonia has courageously
shown that anything’s possible with faith, hard work and
determination.”
