Grit and Grace

At nineteen, Angela hitchhiked from her hometown in Canada to New York City, arriving with seventeen dollars in her pocket. Over the next thirty years she would go on to become a successful entrepreneur and speaker. With rawness and intimacy, Angela shares a portrait of her journey where she explores the complex nature of relationships, the (often overlooked) impacts of trauma, and the challenges of starting over after loss. Weaved throughout the book are inspiring stories of the woman who have shaped Angela's perspective on resilience. She aims to answer the question, "How can we become more resilient?" The stories she shares invite us to reexamine how we see ourselves and to investigate how our past is threaded through the choices we make and who we become. She inspires us to imagine what's possible for our lives, even when it feels like we are being asked to overcome some of our hardest challenges. Part memoir, part call to action, Angela's book asks us, even in the face of hardship, to delve into who we are and what we are meant to do. Angela offers a roadmap for navigating change and healing as an invitation to create a life in alignment with what matters to us most.
