Heartwarming book filled with stories about Mary Kay shared by her executive secretary. I am most honored to be a member of her legacy and this book leads to me to the conclusion that I need to be doing more. I am not often inspired by what I read since I ready most fiction - - escape - - but in 2022 I have set as a goal to read 12 nonfiction books. Good start for me - - I am at 2/12 so far. This one makes me want to choose another Mary Kay book for more inspiration.
Jennifer Cook was the Executive Secretary for Mary Kay Ash for many years. The book includes stories about Mary Kay not found in other books, including Mary Key’s autobiography. It was also interesting to hear stories from the time after she had her stroke, when she had disappeared from the public eye.
