When a determined woman puts her mind to something, she will work very hard until she gets it, despite whatever roadblocks are put in her way. "Pearls" is the perfect metaphor for the women in this special book, i.e., women of great value and rarity who were shaped, not crushed, by the myriad vagaries of life -- like pearls. The women whose stories come alive in Book Two have experienced challenges of all types during the courses of their lives and careers: the loss of loved ones, traumatic childhoods, career upheavals and gender discrimination. What makes them different is that each of them understands her worth, refused to give up when life got tough and has achieved great professional and spiritual success. "Pearls: Women Who Radiate Success, Book 2" is a candid, deep dive into the lives of women we tend to admire—the ones who have climbed to the top of the ladder.
