I loved reading this book! The author's keen wit and humor and her frank assessment of her own situation and goals was inspiring to me. I love people who pull themselves up by their own bootstraps (which I also did). Kudos to the author for being willing to share her very personal struggles with everything in her life. I couldn't put the book down, reading it in 2 or 3 sittings. Waiting for more from this author.
