In this highly anticipated book, beloved author Jen Hatmaker parlays her own triumphs and tragedies into a sigh of relief for all normal, fierce women everywhere.

I was furious.), she offers a reminder to those of us who sometimes hide in the car eating crackers that we do have the moxie to get back up and get back out.

you are not in competition with your peers,
your seat at the table is secure, and
you have indelible gifts to offer.
Each of us can choose to live …

Each of us can choose to live undaunted “in the moment” no matter what the moments hold, and we really can lead vibrant, courageous, grace-filled lives.
3/5. Having just read For the Love (also by Hatmaker), some of the stories are a bit repetitive but I enjoyed her message of dealing with the messiness of life by using your moxie. Hatmaker's writing is funny, real, and vulnerable.
