NOTE TO SELF: 30 WOMEN ON HARDSHIP, HUMILIATION, HEARTBREAK, AND OVERCOMING IT ALL
Andrea Buchanan (Editor, 2009)

From the dust jacket:

“Thirty inspiring women share the enduring lessons they have learned from the defining moments of their lives.

“Life rarely works out exactly as we plan. Rejection by a cherished friend, the onset of an unexpected illness, struggle with body image and self-perception–these experiences may challenge us, but our triumphs come to define us.

“We find comfort, joy, tears, and laughter in the wisdom, insight, and empathy we gain.”

Thank you, Andrea Buchanan, for teaching all of us the agony and joy of overcoming obstacles, including ourselves!
