Testimonials
“Being Brave is a powerful and inspiring collection of short stories about women overcoming incredible challenges—trauma, alcoholism, divorce, sexual abuse, and more. I loved that I could pick it up whenever I had a few moments and dive into a story about another strong, resilient woman. The interview format made it easy to follow, and I especially enjoyed reading the bios at the end of each chapter. Seeing what each woman has made of herself and how she’s inspiring others with her story left me feeling uplifted and motivated. It’s a book that celebrates courage in a personal and relatable way.”

You will be engrossed in the courage of these women and can easily read the entire book in one day. This would also make a great Christmas gift for any woman in your life.”
