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!

Faboulous Book

This is a fabulous, well written inspiring book. Everyone should read this book to see the hurdles that can be overcome by the human spirit and the goals that can be reached - even for late bloomers.






Good For Reading Aloud

In this eclectic collection of interviews and stories of "late blooming" women, the reader hears from across the spectrum about women who have pursued a dream, in spite of their age. Prill Boyle's writing style is friendly and the pages fly by, as she chronicles the juice she gets from her interviews. Between stories, her journal entries add perspective and sentiment as they serve to usher the reader between one person and the next. This book of true life tales is good for reading aloud.
