Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Lives is a celebration of women who have shown unusual courage by overcoming devastating life events. These women did more than survive: they transcended their dire circumstances to become people who surpassed even their own expectations. These are ordinary women who have chosen to make their lives extraordinary, and they show us it is possible for any woman to do the same-whether that means getting over a divorce, overcoming addictions to alcohol and other drugs, recovering from an illness, or living with disabilities.
