Paperback. Condition: Fair. The StarShine Effect, fast paced, gut wrenching at times, down to earth and deeply moving, this inspirational book lifts the spirit and fills the reader with real hope and faith in the Purpose Driven Life and presents positive solutions for restoring (fixing?) our badly broken education system and reigniting the community consciousness and spirit of cooperation that made America great.

As a young executive for AT&T she had to attend frequent executive training classes and wondered why she had not learned these things in kindergarten. As her success continued, she became a powerful banker, leveraging technology she had learned at AT&T to help create one of the first inter-active mortgage loan applications on the Internet.

The horror of 9/11 and her own personal experiences caused her to want to redesign how, what and when we are all taught, beginning at the youngest of ages.
