Jumping Over The Rainbow

A rainbow is synonymous with bravery, brightness, brilliance and vibrancy. In the Bible it is a symbol of God's faithfulness and mercy. Everybody has a story and in this short memoir Ronnie van der Merwe tells his story. He has learned that the truth does indeed set you free.

Ronnie wants readers who feel that you are different and do not belong to know that you are not alone. You should see that it is okay to be yourself and be comfortable in your skin. Freedom is great but the path to it can sometimes be rocky, narrow and uphill. At times the journey gets windy, wet and lonely. As shown in his memoir, this road can be strewn with both flower petals and thorns. His trip to Europe led to his personal freedom, but it was not always easy. In his memoir he shares the good and the bad moments and wants the readers of his book to see that life is beautiful and precious and should be lived to the fullest. Nothing and nobody should keep you from being your authentic self!

JUMPING OVER THE RAINBOW is about finding and accepting yourself. In the end it shows the beauty of loving yourself and realising that we are all God's children.
