I wish I could give this book 2.5 stars. This book was completely underwhelming as a self-help book. It had no sense of direction. It was not obvious to me what lesson I was supposed to be learning in each chapter. The book gave little to no practical advice. It was simply a book of anecdotes. Essentially saying, "Here are all these women who have overcome. You can do it too. But we won't tell you how, you'll just have to figure that out yourself." For some reason, each mini-section within the chapter was set off by two quotes, which I found strange and distracting. And I love quotes, but they weren't used effectively in this book.

If you are going to buy this book to read, I suggest skipping all of it except chapter 5. Chapter 5 was the only time in the book that my mind felt like it was getting practical information. The rest is purely anecdotal and not all that useful.

I would NOT recommend this book.
