More than just a memoir detailing the struggles she faced as a woman fighting prejudice and skepticism about her abilities to perform, Wolfswinkel also tells of her romance with Shawn, and how parenting two young children while managing two businesses has its own challenges. More importantly, she uses the details of her own story to encourage other young women to face the odds in their own lives and overcome their own challenges to success.
