Fay Downing’s Fearless Outpouring of Triumphing Over Personal Trauma Exhibited at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2023

For centuries, the city of Frankfurt, Germany, has been the site of prominent book markets that saw the exchange of art, philosophies, ideas, and stories via literature. Today, the spiritual successor to those markets exists in the form of the Frankfurt Book Fair (Frankfurter Buchmesse), the world’s largest book fair.

The event took place around mid-October, assembling thousands of international publishers and displaying thousands of books by newly published authors. In fact, many of these authors produced their work not just simply for exposure but to also put to paper the emotional challenges of their lives and express the personal transformation they underwent to go above their past traumas.

That’s certainly the message of Fay E. B. Downing, the author of the book Bad Girl: In the bedroom, in the boardroom, in the basement, in the cemetery, on the rooftop, etc. The book was displayed at the exhibit of ReadersMagnet, a self-publishing and book marketing company.

As her book’s title suggests, the book tells her life of being a ‘bad girl’ at just about everything, whether it’s at work, at home, or in her relationships.

Yet despite the series of emotional upheavals she describes in her book, Downing goes on to affirm that she did manage to hold herself high eventually. She became the first among her siblings to go to college, get a degree, receive multiple honors, and then landed herself a successful career as a CPA.

Fay E. B. Downing hopes that those who read her story during the Frankfurt Book Fair 2023 will find encouragement should they also ever feel like life’s unfair. Still, other curious readers can purchase Bad Girl: In the bedroom, in the boardroom, in the basement, in the cemetery, on the rooftop, etc. on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

She now resides in Chesapeake with her loving husband, Richard Smith. She is the fourth child of eleven. She was the first of her siblings to go to college, get a degree, and come to know the Savior.

She has degrees and many letters behind her name, but the most important degree she received was a B.A., which stands for Born Again. She labored many years in the Ministry of Mount Carmel Baptist Church, in Norfolk, Virginia serving as treasurer for 20 years. During this time, she studied the gospel relentlessly under the anointed preaching, teaching and guidance of Bishop Clarence V. Russell, Jr.

Here, God blessed her with opportunities to preach and teach His word. In the secular world, God has blessed her to be an accomplished - spirit filled Certified Public Accountant, who recently retired from being the Controller for the Regional Accounting Dept. for Lincoln Military Housing. Although she has worn many hats …as daughter, sister, wife, mother, and Boss Lady; the hat that she esteems above all is that of being a Child of The Most High God.
