Review:

The interviews in this book are amazing. I am so inspired by the lessons that have been shared. I found, in this book, strength to keep on going no matter what happens in life. If these women can experience so many difficulties and go on, I can too. Thank you, Susan, for being an example in your own life of someone willing to face fears and follow their dreams. I learned so much from reading this book about facing my own fears and moving forward. I loved reading this book and wanted more! After reading this book, I decided to embrace the joy of life more fully. I want to focus on the good and learn to take advantage of the days I have on this earth to do good. Thank you to all the women who shared their stories. --Independent reviewers
