Review of the book I think this is an excellent book for inspiring modern-day women to tackle the problems they face at a personal level, at home, at work, and as mothers. It also provides useful insights into managing pain and suffering for personal growth. The candid manner in which the author has dealt with the subject of truth and how being truthful to oneself can solve so many problems at the personal level. The author’s view on religion seems a bit controversial but daring and bold nonetheless. Howshe has described the handling of her pains and suffering is truly inspirational. All in all,it is a book written with plenty of grit, passionand,gusto,and for that,the author needs to be applauded. General Conclusion The Book is a great source of inspiration for women in general and especially for the women who have been facing problems similar to one that the author has faced during her lifetime. Most modern women (especially in the west) can relate themselves to the book and I would recommend it to women of all ages .:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Checklist for things after writing ● ● I checked the text with free Grammarly Browser pluginandI correct all mistakes (copy & paste the text into Grammarly)and with free Scribens.com(https://www.scribens.com/) Grammarly checker I checked the text with https://searchenginereports.net/plagiarism-checkerand nothing is marked as plagiarism
