It also happens to be funny, sad, touching, and you can\u2019t put it down! After I finished it, I immediately thought of at least five friends to recommend it to \u2013 it\u2019s that kind of book. W<br \/>\nomen (and men) need more of this sort of inspiration! A great read.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial portrait_url=&#8221;data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iNTAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjUwMCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDUwMCA1MDAiIHhtbG5zPSJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8yMDAwL3N2ZyI+CiAgICA8ZyBmaWxsPSJub25lIiBmaWxsLXJ1bGU9ImV2ZW5vZGQiPgogICAgICAgIDxwYXRoIGZpbGw9IiNFQkVCRUIiIGQ9Ik0wIDBoNTAwdjUwMEgweiIvPgogICAgICAgIDxyZWN0IGZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eT0iLjEiIGZpbGw9IiMwMDAiIHg9IjY4IiB5PSIzMDUiIHdpZHRoPSIzNjQiIGhlaWdodD0iNTY4IiByeD0iMTgyIi8+CiAgICAgICAgPGNpcmNsZSBmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk9Ii4xIiBmaWxsPSIjMDAwIiBjeD0iMjQ5IiBjeT0iMTcyIiByPSIxMDAiLz4KICAgIDwvZz4KPC9zdmc+Cg==&#8221; quote_icon_color=&#8221;#686868&#8243; quote_icon_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; portrait_width=&#8221;1px&#8221; portrait_height=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#686868&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>I was completely moved by this book. It was a joy to read \u2013 entertaining and funny, thought-provoking and poignant. It makes you think differently about everything \u2013 what\u2019s important in life and what isn\u2019t. And it makes you realize just how much one person can do to affect change. I was enthralled from page one and found myself loving and rooting for Pam Cope all the way through. Most importantly, though, it made me notice my privilege even more clearly and want to help people in need.
