Wow Beth - that is such a gift to us! Thank you for sharing your idea with this group. Keep us posted on what happens and what your friends and colleagues think of it.

If you're up for it, there are a bunch of resources on this site for book clubs that might be useful if you'd like to bring those individuals together for a book discussion at some point!

I was so excited by this book that I am buying 5 copies to give to friends and colleagues with the promise that they read it, buy one more copy and pass both on.

I loved the book. Couldn't put it down and finished it in one day:)

The path to success is definitely not strewn with roses. It's a long and hard climb with lots of setbacks. Jacqueline's perserverance, "never say die" attitude, and hard work has made her a successful person and a pioneer in her field. I would love to get involved in Acumen Fund and help out on projects.
