Customer Reviews

Miss America us not alway glamorous- she proves it.

Wonderful read and perfect for those who believe that winning Miss America is a prelude to a perfect life. I enjoyed the book very much, esp since I competed in Miss America locals and have a lifelong love of the system.

A touching and beautiful story

Jane Jayroe's book, More Grace than Glamour, is a touching and beautiful story of a young girl, celebrity, professional, mother, wife and friend sharing her amazing story with love, humor and warmth as she reveals the joys and highs/lows of her life. It is filled with inspiration and tributes and I highly recommend it for any person who is seeking delightful, inspirational books to read. It would, also, make an excellent gift for friends, sisters, daughters...... actually anyone!! I loved reading it and have shared it with many friends and family members.
