STEPPING OUT OF LINE Lessons for Women Who Want It Their Way...In Life, in Love, and at Work

Listeners attracted to this audio's snappy title won't be disappointed when they hear the wealth of advice in this outstanding personal-growth resource. Expect resistance and criticism when you try to follow your heart or make a difference in the world, says the author, a warm teacher and lifelong political and social activist. The energy in her writing will awaken possibilities in anyone with dormant aspirations. With a host of life-management tools and empowering stories, she makes a life of engagement sound possible for anyone. Laural Merlington's determined reading doesn't interfere with the author's motivational energy, though she often sounds more hardened than inspirational. When the material requires her to lighten up, the results of her effort sound outside of her comfort range. T.W. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2009]
