Listening with My Heart - Heather Whitestone, Miss America 1995
Listening with My Heart by Heather Whitestone, Miss America 1995 Although Heather Whitestone will be forever known as the first Miss America with a disability, she would probably prefer to be remembered as a young woman whose deafness taught her discipline and unwavering belief in God. In this sometimes saccharine memoir, Miss America 1995 recounts the story of her inspiring life, beginning with a childhood fever that left her profoundly deaf. That impairment would, in turn, leave her fiercely independent and strong willed. --School Library Journal Yes, You Can, Heather!: The Story of Heather Whitestone, Miss America 1995
Here is the inspiring account of how one remarkable young woman, deaf from childhood, became the first physically challenged person to win the coveted Miss America title. Complete with a full-color photo section, this portrait of God's grace and Heather's determination is a true Cinderella story, offering heartwarming proof that dreams really do come true. Heavenly Crowns - Heather Whitestone , Miss America 1995
A crown that will not fade... Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. I Corinthians 9:25 Beyond the fading glory of earthly crowns and rewards lies an eternal glory of heavenly crowns. This book is a celebration of the rewards of living for Christ, and a call to become more Christ-like in the choices we make in this lifetime. Heavenly Crowns shows how God's glory is revealed in the way we live our earthly lives. Let God Surprise You Miss America 1995
When former Miss America Whitestone developed a high fever at the age of 18 months, she lost her hearing and entered a silent existence. Yet as she matured, Whitestone refused to be daunted by this loss and worked diligently to become a ballerina, learn to speak fluently and set energetic goals for her future. Whitestone's life story continues through each concise chapter in this book, which is part autobiography and part Bible lesson. She and co-author Angela Hunt (who have partnered before in Listening with My Heart) present numerous examples where God inspires Christian believers during difficult phases of life and surprises them with timely, providential provision.

Miss America by Day - Marilyn Van Derbur, Miss America 1957 Miss America by Day - Marilyn Van Derbur, Miss America 1957
Marilyn Van Derbur, a former Miss America, tells the story of how she was sexually violated by her prominent, millionaire father from age 5 to age 18. She was 53 years old before she was able to speak the words in public, "I am an incest survivor." She opened the door for tens of thousands of sexual abuse survivors to also speak the words, many for the first time, within their own families and communities. Marilyn describes, in detail, what specific "work" she did on her journey from victim to survivor. After learning of a woman’s rape, Marilyn heard a close friend say, "It was a bad 20 minutes." In the hope that rape and sexual abuse will no longer be as easily dismissed or minimized, Marilyn writes for the first time about what her father did to her and what the impact has been on her adult life.

Her Cinderella-like rise to success is inspiring and educational. "...heart rending." --Liz Smith
