Women gain courage from their sisters
Prill's expert interviewing skills and honest writing gives us a glimpse behind
women
who are successful. Who would know the struggles they have had, the obstacles they climbed over? Here women with very different dreams - from being a doctor to a writer to a peace corps volunteers - chart in detail how they achieved them. We are left with a blueprints that give us guidance, but most of all the courage to live our own dream.
Inspirational and Heart-Warming
Prill Boyle has expertly woven stories of twelve inspirational
women
in
Defying
Gravity
. This is a must-read for women who put their own hopes and dreams on the back burner while becoming wives, mothers, and caretakers.
Each story is short enough to read and digest in one sitting. It shows every woman it is never too
late
to pursue our dreams. I am anxiously awaiting Prill Boyle's next book!
