Mighty Gorgeous by Amy Ferris
Part memoir, part self-help, this loving, compassionate, and unfailingly audacious missive from force of nature Amy Ferris-a woman who has made all the mistakes and, as such, learned all the accompanying lessons-tackles the question, What would I tell my younger self if I could speak to her now? with gusto.
“In Ferris’s powerful and brilliant new book, Mighty Gorgeous, she once again demonstrates an uncanny and extraordinary ability to grab you by the heart and take your breath away, like no one elseEach vignette glitters with truth, honesty, inspiration, and a mind-bending understanding of how life is not about either/or but a complex constellation of experience, scars, joys and hope. Her words build epic revelations from life’s most intimate and private details, and ring with abiding truths that will guide and comfort you for the rest of your life.” —Jessica Keener, author of Night Swim and Strangers in Budapest
