In Hidden Treasure, Kara Adams teaches us that we are more than just our past life experiences, no matter how harsh these may have been. She leads us through a harrowing and deeply inspiring walk through her own past including infidelity, infertility, family trauma, and her life-threatening illness to show us that despite any circumstance, we can rise to live the passion and purpose designed for us. Part memoir and part personal development book, Hidden Treasure is beautifully written. Kara engages the listener with her contemporary, colloquial, and chatty voice.
