Tragedy. TRIUMPH . Adversity. OVERCOMING . Darkness. LIGHT . Defeat. VICTORY . These are the words that describe and epitomize a group of brave and fearless women whose stories comprise this highly inspirational and powerful book. Fourteen women based out of the city of Reno, Nevada, who experienced multiple challenges, obstacles, and hardships throughout their lives, but chose to do something about it--they chose to RISE . Reno Rising is not just a book. It is a movement, a way of life. Real women who made the decision to believe in themselves, grab their inner power back and stand up for what they were truly about. These stories are written by every woman for every woman. Reno Rising is the blueprint for rebuilding new paths, adventures, callings, and mindsets. Fourteen courageous women invite you to become part of their stories, to rise above your own circumstances. Reno Rising is more than a compilation--it is life. Be part of the evolution. Come rise with us.
I live in Reno and some of these women I knew personally before reading this book...but these are stories I didn't know. Fourteen incredible women, with fourteen different stories. This book isn't a long read...but it isn't an "easy" read. I hope you feel stronger about whatever battle you may be facing just by reading the stories of what these women have overcome and where they are now. It's okay to fall...now it's time for us to rise.
Read and share this with the women in your life. These stories of brave women rising above circumstances encourage us no matter what our story is today. I couldn’t be more proud of these women (some I know and others I do not know). Each of them has a heart for women and courageously shared their truth. There is power in their willingness to revisit hard times, share authentically, and honestly state that they are still on the journey. Well done!
