    Women Sticking Together...

    Want to start a business? Stressed out? Where can you turn for guidance, or hear others tell you that you¿re not alone? The editors of NiaOnline have done an excellent job in the second installment of their self-help series. Using interviews and a panel discussion of women who have filled many shoes at one time as a base, this guide is designed to help women learn tips and tricks to juggle their responsibilities. It¿s also formulated to show you how to do these things and enjoy yourself at the same time.   There are topics in this book for everyone. From relinquishing the `superwoman¿ syndrome, to making your passion profitable, you¿re sure to find a topic that peaks your interest. Keeping everything simple with no hassles, McKissack and Huggins use panelists and contributors who have actually been through the process in which they give advice.   BALANCING WORK AND LIFE is very informative and a quick read. One of the highlights in the book is the resource guide found at the end, which contains valuable contact information to assist you. I¿ve read the first, and now the second. I give these two ladies a thumbs-up. This  series that is sorely needed for women today.   Reviewed by T. Belinda Williams for Loose Leaves Book Review
