Description

Most people are just living to die. Here I am, just dying to live—is the whisper Nicole Danielle heard on the darkest night of her life.

A beauty queen who committed a crime. A lover who committed a sin. A dreamer told to get her head out of the clouds. A bright light dimmed by the world.

Life got dark and every time Nicole tried to change the narrative, the noise was just too loud—

“You’re not enough.”

“You will never be anything more than what you are.”

“You’re a dime a dozen.”

“Your voice doesn’t matter.”

“You’re a fat f*cking pig.”

Bullied. Abused. Abandoned. Betrayed. Silenced…

Until now.

For so long, Nicole Danielle didn’t speak. Because of her son, she finally will.

In her gripping debut memoir, Nicole shares her triumphant journey through this beautiful yet heartbreaking thing called life. Her raw, unapologetic, and profoundly vulnerable voice pulls you into a rollercoaster of highs and lows, affirming the essence of humanity.

Join Nicole on this inspiring voyage of self-discovery—as her stories reveal that there has always been someone there; her voice, however, simply wasn’t strong enough until now to tell you so.

Unlock the pages of Diamonds Beneath the Darkness and dare to feel the reality of what it truly means to be human.

Nicole Danielle, as seasoned TV/film producer with credits on networks such as Discovery, A&E, E! and the Food Network, is the Co-Founder and Visionary of Amazing Crazy Productions.

""Nicole Danielle tells her story, from stolen childhood to fierce protection of her own children's childhoods and special needs, she shares her story honestly and from her heart. I experienced a myriad of emotions as she shared her own emotional and gripping journey into adulthood and ""life"". I am actually in awe of her courage in storytelling. She is brutally honest about everything she has experienced in life thus far and it is obvious she doesn't sugarcoat for her readers or those who are or were part of her life. Makes one crave the same honest approach to life, free of any masquerade or imposter syndrome. I was so emotional sometimes I just thought I would put it down, but was compelled to read on.

Fantastic read..!!"" - Reader Review

With each story, every memory, she shows us her scars, and you want nothing more than to hide her away from the world. But she wouldn't want that, and she tells us exactly why - her children. I can't help but want to scream knowing this woman has survived so much, loved so much, and is still not seen by those who should have protected her from the beginning. It's a hurtful and cruel world, but she's the shining diamond beneath the darkness."" - Reader Review
