“Her Story: Lessons in Success from Lawyers Who Live It” is a powerful and uplifting compilation of personal essays about achieving success while juggling the curveballs of life and career advancement with strength and grace.
The collection takes the reader along on the diverse personal journeys of women who have overcome personal challenges to forge careers befitting their own definitions of success. “Her Story” defines success not as a one-size-fits-all proposition, but rather, a myriad of individual stories of fulfilled women.

Each chapter ends with provocative questions for personal reflection or discussion in a book club, roundtable, or meeting setting.
