Her Inspiration is a book with a crystal clear mission: to provide the advice, solace, kick in the pants, pat on the shoulder, hug, or giggle you need when you need it, in short to inspire women to be their best selves. Be inspired by the nine secrets and wise words from hundreds of women around the world and throughout history.

Parker introduces each secret with some thoughts of her own and then lets the ladies speak for themselves.
