The inspiring true story of writer Margie Goldsmith and her solutions for anyone who has ever felt “less than.”

Margie Goldsmith is a role model for generations of women to live fearlessly. Having survived a dysfunctional childhood, Goldsmith fled to Paris after college, living a glamorous life and marrying a blacklisted film director. Returning to the US, she divorced and established a successful film/video production company and married a NYC lawyer to celebrities. Tiring of her corporate wife role, she divorced, rediscovered her twin passions of travel and fitness, and became a sought-after writer.

Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the peak of her career, followed by lung cancer and more complications, she continued to write, travel, and challenge herself to do scary things, including learning blues harmonica and playing on stage. Her book is a riveting read for anyone who has ever felt “less than” and wished for a different existence. You can change your life.
