Shirene Gentry: Identity Unveiled
Who am I? Who are you?I sifted through the paperwork of my adopted family of origin to discover who I REALLY am - the circumstantial clues that my biological father was the last reigning king of Persia. The deeper theme throughout the diaries, letters, and scrapbooks revealed that my family and I were all living in the wrong identities and handling life disappointments in ways that prevented true freedom. My book’s questions and podcast will allow the reader and listener to understand who YOU really are - a daughter of THE King of Kings!
