Title: Unstoppable in Stilettos: A Girl’s Guide to Living Tall in a Small World

Author: Lauren Ruotolo

About the Book:

How to Live Large Every Day and Kick Butt Along the Way!

How does a girl who was originally predicted to live a wheelchair-bound existence become adventurous, self-assured, successful, and . . . unflappable? Standing 4 feet 2 inches tall in flats (which she would never be caught dead in, anyway), Lauren Ruotolo has spent her thirty-four-ish years seeing the world from a unique angle—upward facing. Lauren was born with McCune-Albright syndrome, a mysterious and rare genetic disease that researchers say occurs in anywhere between 1 in 100,000 and 1 in 1 million people. Some people with the condition tend to go the wheelchair route, but that was never a road Lauren wanted to travel. Her preferred method of transportation, instead, includes stiletto heels. Lauren has avoided the label of ‘disabled’ through uniquely discovering who she really is, and now you, too, can learn the secrets to living life in a big way.

In Unstoppable in Stilettos, Lauren offers you ‘Lauren’s Lessons,’ in which she shares her hard-earned wisdom and life experiences to offer you a unique brand of life philosophies that you can apply to any of the rights of passages you may be experiencing as a Twenty-first Century Woman, including:

Navigating social pressures
Avoiding the label game
Overcoming insecurities
Combating career confusion
Turning rejection and obstacles into triumph
Dealing with toxic people
Discovering true self-expression
and so much more.

With Unstoppable in Stilettos you will have the tools to carve out your own path to self-confidence, success, and individualism . . . and have a blast along the way.

My Review:

I read books that I know can help me…or fiction novels that just help me to get away from it all. Laurens book should be a must read for everyone…struggling or not. She will teach you to never give up…and to put one foot in front of the other without finding the need to give up.

Lauren was born challenged…she’s short, like 4’2″…so in Stilettos she’s around 4’6″ or so. She doesn’t let that stop her for anything. The book will give you 8 chapters full of lessons and sayings that will help you along the way….. She has a bit of “ballsiness” about her, in which I feel every woman should learn!

Lauren shares her personal experiences with you in this book, why she is the way she is in spite of having someone tell her she was not able to do certain things… She is going to show you a better way to do things, and she will help you to see that no matter what YOU CAN do it…no matter what is placed in front of you.

The best part of the book that I liked is at the end of each chapter, she will list a few items that she wants you to keep in mind, or work on, or just to simply remember. Each chapter has a purpose, and by the end of the book you will truly be a better person, one who will know how to strive for what they want…. Great book to give to someone who needs a bit of extra help…how to get that kick ass attitude they need!
