When we cultivate resilience, we mine the awful, or merely annoying, experiences in life to find meaning and purpose.The Woman's Book of Resilience is an accessible, practical guide to bouncing back, to go to the edge of life and come back with heart and soul elevated, to be able to take sure and steady steps over rocky terrain.
