What is the feminine face of courage? What everyday acts are courageous in your life? The intent of this book is not to provide all the answers, but rather to question. To question the status quo, traditional views, and old Codes. The authors share their insights using stories from forty-four women who are, like you, living courageously. They are challenged everyday to live a life of meaning and authenticity. They have discovered the power of seemingly small choices that create mammoth shifts in their lives and in their worlds. Because they have dealt with their challenges head on, they have been successful on many levels and in many ways. You will see yourself in their words and gain new insights for living courageously.
