LIFESTYLE NEWS: Accomplished Oregon entrepreneur-turned-author Jammie Carr’s newly-released memior creating a widespread national buzz
Andre Johnson 
She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. (Proverbs 16-19/NIV)
JOURNEY WORTH TAKING
For Jammie Carr, all it took was God strategically speaking to her by way of a simple nudge from a dear friend, a tap that would ultimately alter the overall landscape of her life.
“With a nudge from my business mentor, I sensed God calling me to turn inward and write with greater vulnerability,” Carr, a Portland, Oregon-based author, told Making Headline News this week, recalling the awe-inspiring developments surrounding her featured written work.
As Carr vividly recalls, it was a spiritually-gut-checking bump, one that would subsequently give way to this distinctly gifted writer taking yet another step towards her destiny.
“I’m committed to becoming the best version of myself, so I asked (God), ‘What do I need?’” Carr recalls. “And I created what I knew would also serve those coming behind — and ahead — of me.”
Indeed, she did, a riveting, fascinating, highly-anticipated published gem that came to fruition in June 2025.
The title: Truths We Hide: A Journey of Self-Love and Healing, Carr’s featured book that, much to her delight, has set off a fervent buzz across various message boards and social media platforms.

An intriguingly brilliant read on which she began the legwork in November 2024, Carr needed somewhere in the neighborhood of four months to compose a book that is as good as advertised.
“(I was determined) to tell the true backstory of my brand and business and to strip shame from my story,” said Carr, explaining the divine purpose for Truths We Hide: A Journey of Self-Love and Healing. “I stopped being the ‘best-kept secret’ and got out of my own way by sharing the very things that once made me feel unworthy. That decision is directly tied to my business’s success.”

A book that is accompanied by 178 pages, Carr’s Truths We Hide: A Journey of Self-Love and Healing, by all accounts, is what this accomplished writer deems a “raw and powerful memoir-meets-guidebook” that takes readers deep into the unspoken stories behind survival, trauma, and personal transformation, according to a detailed synopsis of this book via Amazon.com.
“Written by a private investigator who’s made a career uncovering hidden truths, this book turns the lens inward: examining the pain of family trauma, emotional triggers, PTSD, and the cycles of hurt we carry into our adult lives,” said an Amazon spokesperson for Carr’s Truths We Hide: A Journey of Self-Love and Healing. “More than recounting hardship, this is a roadmap for breaking generational patterns, reclaiming your power, and healing from the inside out. Jammie shares what she survived and how she rose, offering practical tools and personal reflections to help you move from merely existing to living with strength, clarity, and purpose.”
Interestingly enough, Carr emphasized, among other things, the divine message she aspires to send to her reading audience through Truths We Hide is that when we change the story in our mind, God will in turn, change the story in our lives.
For her valiant efforts amid her featured written work, Carr has become the beneficiary of an assortment of rave reviews.
“Women tell me they see themselves in these pages,” Carr told MHN. “My niece said, ‘Every woman in our family needs to read this,’ A colleague shared, ‘Your vulnerability explains why we bonded so quickly.’ My aunt said I was telling her story. The common theme: honesty, healing, and relatable.”
Besides Truths We Hide, Carr authored the following books in 2025:
- Truths We Hide: A Journey of Self-Love and Healing Trigger, which debuted in June 2025
- Spiritual Priority: Daily Devotions For The Soul, which was rebranded in July 2025 and,
- Investigating The Heart: A Poetic Journey Through Life, which was also rebranded amid its original edition.
Each of her books are available on Amazon and where books are sold.
“My prayer is that readers trade silence for truth, shame for grace, and survival for wholeness, then become the healing their families have been waiting for,” Carr said.
FULFILLING HER DESTINY
BUT WAIT…THERE’S MORE

Additional book projects, she said, are forthcoming.
“God has already given me the subject of the next one,” said Carr while referencing 2 Corinthians 1:3–4. “It’s early, but the content gives me goosebumps. I’m excited about how God is using me in this season. My purpose is to contribute to healing at scale. What God taught me, I’m called to give back.”
What a difference a simple friendly nudge has made.
