In the epic tradition of Chicken Soup for the Soul® and other great anthologies, this collection of moving and illuminating stories showcases life moments both tender and profound. These twenty-two extraordinary authors are makers of HERstory, and their journeys show us all that we, too, are born to RISE. This book includes stories from: Alexa Gorman, Ashley Cook, Christine Gallo, Christine Amerman, Diane Caine, Dominey Drew, Felicia D'Haiti, Jeannie Spiro, Jenn Edden, Jess Spino, Kelly West, Kendra E. Thornbury, Kim & Juliana Hayes, Linda Lindquist, Lisa Roche, Mary Jane Milici, Michelle Lemoi, Nikki Bond, Parchelle Tarci, Portia Michelle, and Renee Poirier.
