Just finished reading Dr. Joyce Knudsen's book, Refusing to Quit.
‘Refusing to Quit’ is Dr.
Joyce Knudsen’s latest, and last book which features true stories written by
twenty remarkable women, about their indomitable spirit to seek, and live life
to the fullest. The book concludes with Joyce’s own story.
The authors, who range in age
from 60 to 94, describe their varied life experiences, in their own style and
language, and each story is less than three pages long.
Whether it’s the lady with a 1000 sari collection in Australia, or the 94 year-old cryptologist who at 21, had tea with Eleanor Roosevelt in The White House; the ministers daughter and mortgage underwriter who refused to quit amidst the global financial crisis, or the woman from a rural North Dakota farm family who braved adversity, and later in life traveled the world and shook hands with Mother Teresa; this book beautifully illustrates the subject of aging, and self esteem, through the eyes of women over 60, who have a do-not-quit attitude.
I am not a woman, and I am not sixty, but I surely enjoyed reading the stories of these women, and I would recommend this book to anyone, no matter what their age or gender!
