In every heroic tale, the heroine is called to fulfill a com­pelling desire or seek a new adventure. Sometimes she is eager to accept the call. Other times, she refuses out of fear--but the call grows ever louder.

For modern-day women, the struggle for self-discovery and the courage to leap into the unknown is no different.

Mirroring the heroine's journey, this empowering guide outlines:

• the power of choice.
• models for personal development.
• strategies to combat critics (even yourself).
• tips for dealing with emotional roadblocks.
• methods to achieve self-acceptance.

You may not be Wonder Woman, but you are certainly a heroine. It's time to unleash the power within!
