Thirty-three women came together to share their stories in the Inspired Girl anthology entitled Magnificently Made. Among the pages, you'll read about illness, sacrifice, family dynamics. You'll also read about addiction, body dysmorphia, racism, sexual abuse. You'll read about dreams being built, joy being found, and women standing up for what they believe. You'll hear stories of lives lost too soon and childhoods tainted by trauma.
But at the core of all these varied and often heart-wrenching stories, you'll feel the thread of human connection, you'll feel the power of faith, and you'll rise up with each of the contributors as they share lessons learned, triumphant outcomes, and hard-earned wisdom. These are real women putting themselves out there in a raw and authentic way wrapped up in a beautiful book. This is not the book of toxic positivity. The contributors do not shy away from the realities they have lived. There is no sugar coating, and yet, through it all the book provides readers a reminder of the depth and power of the human spirit.
