My Thoughts:
This book is filled with true stories from the author's very interesting life. Each story has a lesson the author learned from that part of her life. She is a very strong and determined woman who followed her dreams. She has done so much during her life and it really inspires you to do more in your life and to follow your dreams. I know a lot of times you have a dream in life and you just keep saying "someday" but you never actually do anything to pursue that dream. But life is short so go for it, don't be scared, and believe in yourself!
That's what this book reminds us to do. It's very different from the books I normally read but if you are looking for some inspiration through a collection of true stories then you should check this one out.
