This is a searing, poignant memoir of a woman who defied her family and sheltered upbringing as a Mormon fundamentalist to find her own voice and place in academia. Tara's story is powerful because she was discouraged from being educated, yet she had the grit, uncompromising self-discipline, and determination to complete a PhD in history. 

This gave me a first-hand perspective of what it's like to have to fight for your education. As a mother, it is a powerful reminder of the influence we have on our children. Every child deserves access to quality education.

Growing up as a child of the 80s, Nike had always been this established brand and household name. I didn't know the back story until I picked up Phil Knight's memoir. With a dare-to-dream attitude and hustle, he brought Tiger shoes to the US, and in the face of losing everything, he built a lifestyle brand empire.

From his relationship with Steve Prefontaine to the untimely death of his son, Matthew, his story is heartfelt. His running coach, partner and mentor, had said if you have a body, you're an athlete. It was a revolutionary concept at the time, and it still inspires to this day as Nike's mission.

The Nike story is a lesson in survival and the importance of living with purpose.

Life After Life is an incredible novel that follows Ursula throughout her life and through multiple deaths until she manages to live the life she's meant to. This genre-defying book is part historical novel, family drama and all with a sci-fi twist.

Kate Atkinson's writing is flawless but be careful not to race through this, trust me, you'll miss the wonderful Ursula when she's gone.

SAY NO TO MIDLIFE CRISIS is a self-help book whose title is self-explanatory. Here is an excerpt: I hardly need to list here the various reasons why we resent the years piling up; suffice it to say that most of us do. And for some, the realization that we’ve hit middle age sends us into a positive tailspin.

We’re far from old. We’re not yet suffering most of the physical problems seniority brings, either. We’ve merely hit the third phase of our lives – the four phases being childhood, young adulthood, mid-life, and seniority. And yet the realization that we’ve hit that point impacts some of us like a blow to the solar plexus.

Or the psyche. What is “middle age”? Everyone has her or his own idea of what delineates that phase of life.. The reality is, it doesn’t really matter. If, at thirty-five, you feel you’ve hit the midpoint of your life and are no longer “young,” you’re middle-aged in your own mind, and that’s all that really counts. If at fifty-four, you feel you’ve yet to hit true middle-age, you’re right, too… for you.

From the Contributor: I wrote it! I am a 40 year old woman who started having a spiritual awakening in my 30s. Life lost its appeal to me despite being a mom, a wife and a business owner. I started on my spiritual path and found so much more intimacy and joy in everyday dealings.
