You are not a bitch. You are not a cougar. You are not an animal. You are a BRILLIANT WOMAN! It is time for all women to value themselves and stand tall in the aura of self worth, self respect and declare out loud - I AM a Brilliant Woman! This book was written to remind you of how incredible you are no matter what you have been through. You are a beautiful soul. You were born brilliant. This book showcases ten incredible women (see contributing authors below) who share some of the most private, hurtful, and damaging experiences in their lives and the journey they took to embracing their own brilliance. Stories of overcoming profound loss, to being incarcerated, to helping the homeless and making a difference, from rag's to riches and stories of motherhood that will touch the heart in all of us. It takes real courage to go public with one's account of hitting the bottom, where trust and faith is shattered. This book shares an important truth that when we hit the bottom, the most profound transformation can take root - a awake up call to remember who we truly are.
