This inspirational book is a collection of stories about women who overcome difficulties that almost anyone can relate to. Whether not getting along with a spouse or overcoming feelings of greed and desire for material things, Young reminds readers that they are not alone. Case in point, "The trials of unforgiving Susan" is one such short story that many can probably identify with.
Ann, Hannah, and Susan are fictitious characters, but they seem real. Their problems are realistic, and their thought processes are relatable. "The kind words of the church members kept her sane. Participation in church activities motivated her to persevere," shared Anxious Ann. How many women with domineering partners have felt this way? In this motivational story, reaffirming their relationship through God helps Ann and her spouse.
The book's devout advice is precious because it is delivered in the tone of a close confidante. The narrative also comes across as calming and reverent, making readers feel like the author is someone they might want to know personally. Young also offers sage spiritual advice by pointing out that in the end, while friends will agree with and encourage a person, only God can show the proper way forward. "Going to the Lord before asking wisdom on how to handle a situation from a friend who always agrees with you about everything really pays off. God never fails." Even the title of this work is inspirational and encouraging. The book asks readers to release themselves from toxic mental self-abuse, love themselves, and always look forward and upward.
