Marci Shimoff – författare

There are many ways to define a woman: daughter, mother, wife, professional, friend, student. We are each special and unique, yet we share a common connection. What bonds all women are our mutual experiences of loving and learning, feeling the tenderness of love, forging lifelong friendships, pursuing a chosen career, giving birth to new life and juggling the responsibilities of job and family. This shining collection of short stories from the bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul series is full of just such moments. You will find inspiration, joy and comfort in the special messages found in chapters on love, living your dreams, overcoming obstacles, marriage, motherhood, ageing, bridging the generations, and self esteem.

Many of these people—including a Grammy Award–winning singer, a woman who has lost and gained over a thousand pounds, and a man whose loving actions have made him a national icon—share their extraordinary and moving personal stories.Whatever your experiences of love have been in the past, you can begin to love at a higher level today.
