A Purpose Driven Woman

Felicia Shakespeare and thirteen co-authors share fourteen personal memoirs of resilience, purpose-finding, and faith-rooted transformation in this 2019 collection. Shakespeare's background as an international speaker and the founder of a women's empowerment community — she's received a WNBA Chicago Sky Redefine Possible Women's Leadership Award — gives the project genuine credibility. The multi-voice format is the book's real strength: real women, real stories, real hardship met with grace. The caveat is that anthology quality naturally varies by contributor, and without mainstream critical reviews it's hard to know which chapters land best. For women navigating life transitions and looking for honest, faith-informed encouragement, this is an uplifting read.
