Although the world as we knew it changed with the Great Pandemic of 2020, this amazing book shows that with the right mindset, it is possible to thrive and see opportunity at any age. -- B. South

*****

"This book is a must-read! The stories of these amazing women will touch you to the core. I cried, and I smiled, and I felt my spirit lifted.

So much of what they share happened to me or someone I know. How each one of them "handled" life circumstances really is inspirational. COVID may have stopped the world for a while, but it did not stop humanity from growing stronger and better. I thank each one of you for sharing your story with me." -- B. Powers
