The Sugar Queen Book

A must-read story of courage and determination.

Raw, packed with emotion, and at times heartbreaking, Kennedy’s is a must-read story of strength, tenacity, and gumption. Her business success makes her truly deserving of the title Sugar Queen, and in this book she reveals a gut-wrenching, yet captivating, history of personal success as well. Kennedy’s story of triumph over all odds will leave you pondering your own potential to overcome and succeed.

It takes fortitude—and a rare self-awareness—to transform the foul balls that life hurls at you into home runs. Lina’s story is not only inspirational, but relatable, empowering, and motivating. The Sugar Queen is an electrifying read that will ultimately rouse readers’ own potential.

It's one of my favorite books to read, inspiring stories that can lead us to success. Stories that help us focus and determine our lives. “Sugar Queen” a queen in her true grandeur of Lina life. Love

I read your book in one go, and it was so funny, so moving, with so many truths, so honestly given… Thank you for sharing your story with us!!

Brutally honest and heart wrenching at times. Amazing read.

Remarkable! In the Sugar Queen. Lina Kennedy shows us that no matter what comes along, no matter how bad! It’s far better to own it! Rather than to be owned by it! It’s a gift Lina has possessed and developed from a young age. Always impeccably put together and astonishingly present given the constant barrage of both emotional and physical obstacles she endured. Thanks Lina for sharing this with us. Long time friend

Reading your book, I must confess, I didn`t imagine that it will be so easy and interesting to read. I run one line after another…and also (as I often do with other books) I am curious to jump into further chapters:) I liked so much the story about Canada Petro and Ann. And about AP becoming global, and about ,,Magda,,. Lina when I read it it seems I am there and I even feel that times. Really enjoy reading. Thank you. I have not finished yet, but I couldn`t wait to share my impression – the story is so exciting! I would like to come back here to leave one more review when I reach the last chapter:)

Wow Lina! I just finished your book! That is truly one amazing story!! Exceedingly well written, deeply profound lessons from your life wonderfully expressed, a resounding optimism to persevere when life is intense…. I can’t say enough….I am truly in awe…. The words which I feel sum you up are POWERFUL RESILIENCE! In my profession, I try to teach parents the need to build resilience in their children. Sadly, there is such an emphasis on promoting self esteem in kids these days that people forget that our children need to learn that self esteem is innately related to our ability to rise up and learn from adversity and difficulty (which the majority are ill prepared to handle). You are living proof of a strong resilient woman. I will be recommending your inspirational book to my patients’ moms… Kudos for sharing your life story with the world….

This is a gripping story of enormous challenges, traumas,ingenuity and the resilience of a very determined woman to leave the past behind and carve out a very successful life for herself and her family despite her beginnings. A realistic story for anyone who is looking for inspiration in their own life and work. I read it in a day and a half as I could not put it down, anxious to see what the next chapter would present. Well written and beautifully edited, it will leave you cheering for Lina and the hundreds of practitioners and distributors around the world that have benefited from her determination and creativity to become the gold standard in epilation and skincare globally. It is a book that you will long remember and refer back to time and again for your own encouragement to overcome life’s occasional “tidal waves”! What an uplifting ending! And the equally powerful lesson of forgiveness.

What an inspirational story! Books I like to read are typically about people who overcome major life obstacles/challenges and become successful. Reading Lina’s book shows how having determination, wit, a strong work ethic and forgiveness in her heart, led to a rich and fulfilling life. I was her friend during several earlier years of her journey, but learned a great deal about her strength by reading this book. Her “Gypsy Spirit” took her on many adventures, trials and tribulations. Warning! Once you start reading this book, you will not want to stop. It is a story that will capture you, tug at your heart strings, and keep you captive. It’s a well written, easy to read book that will inspire all readers!
