EDITED BY JOHANNA McCLOY

What does it mean to be fabulous? In this enthralling collection of essays, women from all walks of life explore what it takes to find our own true north, sharing personal stories of successes, mishaps, and often hilarious surprises along the way.

Featuring tenacious mountain climbers, reluctant city drivers, unlikely CIA spies, courageous journalists, newly sober moms, heart-driven animal activists, and many others, Dare to be Fabulous invites readers on an inspiring journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance.

Prompts are included after each story to guide and encourage readers on the path to finding their own true north. (Consider the Dare to be Fabulous Journal Notebook as your writing companion for the 25+ prompts in this book. Together, they make a beautiful set.)

“The essays are both hilarious and moving. There is no pretension here: Becoming fabulous is within reach of us all . . .  Their message is urgent—be you. Nothing is more important.” ~ Ms. Magazine

“This book holds together the power women find when they are honest and courageous. Some of these stories moved me to tears, others made me believe in humanity again, many I could identify with. This book brought me tremendous joy, insight and brought me back to believe in the human spirit.” ~ Julianna Margulies, multiple award-winning actor and author of Sunshine Girl: An Unexpected Life
