    About this ebook

    Are You Riding in the Back Seat of Your Own Dream? is a metaphor for feeling stuck and not moving forward with your dreams and aspirations. This book brings together personal interviews of women from of diverse ages, occupations and lifestyles, distilling the wisdom gleaned from their experiences to provide light for the path to your dreams.

    The insightful lessons are for anyone who still believes in dreams coming true but may have been dissuaded into believing it is too late, and for those who still have passion and just need encouragement to go ahead and live their dreams.

    Diane Jordan-Grizzard, author of Free Soil (2010), has created a powerful reminder that it is possible for your dreams to come true. If you have ever been in pursuit of a dream and lost your way, turn to any one of the stories in this book, and it will inspire you to pick up your dream, brush it off, push against fear, and get back into the driver’s seat.
