Summary
A realistic guide to creating the life and relationships you want in spite of challenging circumstances.
Foreword
Married to a serial-entrepreneur for almost five decades, Joanne Miller confronts the realities of living that roller-coaster lifestyle while maintaining a stable and peaceful home and family life. Although she thought she lost herself in the process she discovered that the greatest challenges can lead to new life direction and is often much better than Plan A. With many calls to action to challenge the reader, Joanne provides valuable insight into how to make your home reflect the life you want, regardless of one’s circumstances or social status.
