The20Project

by Hilary A. Curry

In everyday lives we found extraordinary tales 20 people were asked to tell their story and we have published our book targeted at young adults, to help get them through their 'Quarter Life Crisis'. The project is about sharing our mistakes and our journeys. This project is also a not-for-profit endeavor with proceeds donated to Makomborero in Zimbabwe, Africa.

The 20 Project is breath after breath of fresh air. It is a series of glimpses into the lives of real people, their challenges, their failures, and their journeys to their successes. I found it honest, inspiring, and motivating. The stories, wisdom, and advice resonate like a church bell. This book is an excellent source of insight and experience that may help to avoid some pitfalls; and to realign your priorities and goals with following your dreams.

The 20 Project - A collection of stories, wisdom and advice from life on the other side of 20
Compiled by Hilary A. Curry

I received this book for free in exchange for review. Originally I was thinking it would take me a few hours to devour and read. Except that I do that only with fiction. Anything outside of fiction I take 4 to 5 times longer to read. In the case of this book. Each story would take me a half hour to read but then three or more days to reflect on. There is such wisdom in this book.

I have greatly enjoyed reading this. To review I decided to take each story and share my favorite line from each person. Please see my book blog for the rest http://clutterboxread.blogspot.ca/201...

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed reading The20Project, now that I'm a few years out of my 20's it's easier to reflect back on those days and see how much my life has changed. While reading the book I could clearly remember having many of the same feelings that the authors did in each of the short stories. Your 20's are often filled with excitement and uncertainty and the authors portrayed that very well. This book was inspiring and insightful.
