Digging in deep to share her personal journey, author Paula Johnson writes her debut story Diary of an Imperfect Girl, which is a powerful memoir about young Paula Evans-Johnson as a teenager.
Growing up, Paula felt like a wildflower child, and at the age of fourteen her life began to change for the worst! Lacking her own personal identity, she tried her best to fit in with her friends, which led to her dating at a very young age. However, she was never taught the consequences of dating the wrong type of boys because she never received the required parental guidance and lessons about life from her parents. Though she believed that her mother was praying over her, without the intentional wisdom and direction, Paula began to make very bad relationship choices that led to her experiencing low self-esteem, emotional pain, depression, hurt, verbal, and physical abuse.
By telling her story, Paula hopes to inspire and encourage teenage girls who are going through this same situation. She wants her young readers to know that there is hope, with Christ, after bad decisions and painful relationships.


"You need to love yourself and don't worry about what people say. Always remember that no one is perfect. Dream dreams with a purpose. Never give up and always put God first in your life." - Paula Evans-Johnson
