Warning. If you are a stickler for perfect grammar and punctuation this book may not be for you. The editor has retained each author's voice as they wish it to appear in written form. Your voice is important. And so is the story you share using that voice. You are adamant and passionate that you have something to say. The message you have will not live inside you any longer--it claws to get free. You must get the word out. But how? In Courage Under Siege: Duress to Success, which is volume 4 in the series, seven enterprising women felt the inner call to share their story. From the time they were a young child growing up to the knowing of today, each of these entrepreneurs share their transformational story. You will learn who they have become, the vision they hold, and their mission that must be carried out. Passion. Vision. Mission. The women inside this book have written their own story in their own words. They were not electronically recorded and rewritten. This process has been used throughout the creation of the Courage Under Siege anthology series. The authors are real women, with real stories, and who have developed a real business surrounding their not-so-great circumstances and experiences. Hair loss to hair business. ADHD-diagnosed to finding the perfect match for employers and employees. Overcoming medical scare to being your own care advocate. Awareness of Mom having many businesses to raise family (back in the 1950s!) Parent entrepreneurial spirit to create a never-quit attitude. Stage 4 cancer to a long-life sentence. Drug addiction to kicking the habit with accessing all that is within. Inside this fourth volume are a few members of the Women's Prosperity Network, a global organization of women (and a few great men!) that believes in giving women the tools and skills to be successful in both business and in life. You will hear from two of the three co-founders of the WPN--one shares her story and the other wrote the Foreword! If you often seek courage and wisdom through the story of another, then this book (and the others in the series) is for you. Be aware, however, that some of the stories will bring emotions to the surface, along with tears and warmed hearts. Each author has included their contact information should you wish to connect with them (highly encourage and recommend doing so).

Winner of the 2010 Eudora Welty Book Prize and the Mississippi Library Association’s Nonfiction Author’s Award for 2011 Under Surge, Under Siege shows how Hurricane Katrina tore into Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, raking away lives, buildings, and livelihoods in a place known for its picturesque, coastal views; its laid-back, artsy downtown; and its deep-dyed southern cordiality. The tragedy also revealed the inner workings of a community with an indomitable heart and profound neighborly bonds. Those connections often brought out the best in people under the worst of circumstances. In Under Surge, Under Siege, Ellis Anderson, who rode out the storm in her Bay St. Louis home and sheltered many neighbors afterwards, offers stories of generosity, heroism, and laughter in the midst of terror and desperate uncertainty. Divided into two parts, this book invites readers into the intimate enclave before, during, and after the storm. “Under Surge” focuses on connections between residents, and then it demonstrates how those bonds sustained them through the worst hurricane in US history. “Under Siege” documents the first three years of the grinding aftermath, detailing the unforeseen burdens of stress and depression, insurance scandals, and opportunists that threatened to complete the annihilation of the plucky town. A blend of memoir, personal diary, and firsthand reportage, Under Surge, Under Siege creates a compelling American testament to the strength of the human spirit.

“A thorough examination of Operation Lamar Plain from the point of view of the soldiers on the ground, particularly those of Sherwood’s company.” —ARMY Magazine Courage Under Fire is the first book published about Operation Lamar Plain. After 50 years, the story of the renowned 101st Airborne’s major offensive near Tam Ky, South Vietnam remains largely unknown. Fighting at Tam Ky by the 1st Brigade began 15 May 1969 while the 101st’s 3rd Brigade battled on Hamburger Hill. The political consequences of Hamburger Hill’s high casualties caused Lamar Plain and its high casualties to remain classified and undisclosed. Decades later, the fighting at Tam Ky is mostly forgotten except by those who fought there. Sherwood’s superb research of now declassified records uncovers how such a large battle could remain hidden and undisclosed. But that is not the heart of his story. His focus is on the courage and commitment of the young infantry soldiers who fought. Courage Under Fire uses actual battle records and eyewitness accounts to follow “Never Quit” Delta Company and its sister companies through 28 days of continuous combat at Tam Ky. Delta Company’s soldiers lived up to their motto despite increasing casualties, a tough enemy, harsh battlefield conditions, and loss of leaders. For all who fought at Tam Ky, their bravery and devotion to duty in an increasingly unpopular war is worthy to be remembered. With veterans of Tam Ky now growing older and fewer in number, it is past time to tell their story. “Sherwood has written one of the best, most comprehensive accounts of Vietnam War combat published to date.” —MHQ: The Quarterly Journal of Military History

True Story of Courage and Compassion in a School Under Siege As 870 children waited in fear, their elementary school rushed into lockdown mode. As the nation faced yet another Sandy Hook story of tragedy, one woman rewrote the ending. Yet the story doesn't start with those first steps Michael Hill took into that Atlanta elementary school. It starts with Antoinette Tuff, a woman who faced her own pain, hurt, and rejection, yet held onto grace, faith, and hope. A hope that anchored her in the most high stakes of moments, a grace that allowed her to empathize with a hurting young man, and a faith that gave her the courage to love him back from the brink. This is more than just the amazing account of tragedy averted. It's the evidence of what we can do when we allow ourselves to be used by God. And it's a story of how God uses all of our life experiences--the good and the bad--to prepare us for our own moment of divine purpose.

Contributing Authors: Susan De Robertis, Leigh Dundas, Susan Glusica, Donna Kozik, Geetha Krishnan, Lianda Ludwig, Connie McCracken, Julia Neiman, Holly Pitas, Tammy Trayer Many people are candid, yet shy, about sharing their life with the world. But what often happens is that they can no longer keep that knowledge, that message, inside of them. When the stress becomes too much for the size of the bud, there is no other choice but to let go and allow the expansion of what no longer wishes to be kept hidden. Anais Nin says it best: "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." This is often, and not unlikely in every case, when the Maya Angelous, the Oprah Winfreys, the Arthur Millers, the Steven Spielbergs, the Johann Sebastian Bachs, or those who run for the high-profile elected offices can no longer play small, as the message of what's buried inside of them, needs to be shared with the world! And the sooner the better! Oh, the beauty of the bloom! Peggy Lee Hanson in her book, Courage Under Siege: Adversity to Victory, shares 11 such stories of women who can no longer be silent. They personally tell of their struggles and trials endured, which were the turning points, the catalyst necessary to be broken wide open and released from their chains and shackles. You will read about Julia and how she lost her job, only to continue with her passion of helping teens become wealthy and healthy adults. Tammy shares the story of when her son was diagnosed with Autism, and how living off-grid has helped him to become a thriving young adult. Leigh tells two stories of girls involved in human sex trafficking and how they wanted to share their story because the world needs to hear what they have to say. Susan G. talks about how she went from $200,000 in debt down to zero debt all on her own. You will read other stories, no less important, of what truly is the cause of obesity, taking risks in a strange and unfamiliar place, surviving the cancer death sentence, going from ready to file bankruptcy to making over $7,000 in just one weekend, and much more. Do you have your own story to tell? You may think that courage was not involved during that horrific time of hardship and strife. But, oh, let me be the first one to tell you how brave you were to continue day in and day out until you came out of the throes of bad times. Many don't have the strength you showed, getting up each morning to face God-only-knows-what. But you did make it through! You experienced some awfully hard and difficult circumstances and events. There is no doubt about that. But you also experienced joy from them. Seriously, there is no gain without pain. There is no joy without the lowest of the lowest moments. God or whoever is your Spiritual Source, with his or her or its Infinite Wisdom planned that all who suffer will have peace; and after discovering that peace, you realized you acquired the tools and the knowledge to share your story in order to lessen the pain and hurt someone else is feeling. As I speak with my colleagues in coaching and writing, they, too, have come to this very same conclusion: we are here on this earth to help our neighbor. And that is the exact reason these 11 women share their story.

Warning: This book is not for everyone! But it is for those who possess an open mind, who want to know about other people who are just a little bit different than you or me. This book is also for the individual who, as a young child, was ridiculed, called names, or withdrew because of things seen, but no one else could. You should also devour the wisdom of "Bewilderment to Enlightenment" if you are a parent or grandparent of small children to help them through terrifying times of seeing ghosts and monsters that which aren't truly there.... or are they? Finally! People with metaphysical abilities are speaking out! Inside these covers you will witness the hurt, shame, and ostracizing that each contributor endured while growing up. They are now sharing their story so you don't have to go through the past alone. These brave women also share their story for the parents and grandparents of small children who have the gift of sight. They may see ghosts or images that no one else sees, but know they are real. With her Courage Under Siege series, Peggy Lee Hanson delivers, what she says is her intent to "share stories of individuals and their experiences where diversity, adversity, and animosity create a coming together of sorts to build community." She adds, "We are here to help our neighbor." Hanson further expounds on this special edition and its authors. "They display their courage by stepping into who they are, who they've always been, and showing other empaths, angel chatterers, and more with metaphysical abilities that life is better when you know someone just like you is out there to walk the path with you, and at the same time." Oh, there is no doubt we live in a crazy world... the year does not matter, it seems. But just imagine if the world could become a more welcoming and accepting place. This scenario can happen and the first step comes from you. Take a bit of time, it doesn't have to be hours, to know the person who sits next to you on the subway, who lives next door, or stands in line with you while waiting to check out at the local coffee shop. A simple hello and a smile will do the trick to bridge the distance between two strangers. By sharing their stories these brave women have the unique opportunity to shout from the highest mountaintop that you should not be afraid and you are not alone in the hardship or devastation of your experiences. What these women also share is the courage it took to finally stand up to who they are as they "come out" of the spiritual closet. But this book is about more than just "coming out," as you will read the entertaining, sometimes laughable, yet serious moments, of each contributor.
