- Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2025What a collection of stories from a group of women that have overcome such obstacles in their lives. Many great examples of the proof of positive thinking and never giving up, even when you think there is nothing left. Next time I'm having a bad day and thinking I want to give up, I'm going to pull this up and randomly pick a story and no matter which one I end up re-reading, I know it will give me the inspiration to push through!
