Sylvia is a gem, a true inspiration! We’ve all hit roadblocks in life, times where no one would blame us for drinking wine till our eyeliner is permanently smudged into our skin from all the crying. But Sylvia doesn’t give up! She triumphs. Time and time again, she handles life with grace, elegance, and a bit of sass. I couldn’t put this book down. Five enthusiastic stars!
