The Gift of a Year

In this inspirational, practical book, author Mira Kirshenbaum gives women all the advice and direction they need to find support and feel supported--and find the necessary time to fit their dreams into the lives they already lead. The Gift of a Year (review or buy) is filled with real-life anecdotes from women who have used Mira Kirshenbaum's program successfully. They talk about what they did with their year, why and how they did it, and what they got out of it.
