Assessment:
Plot: This is a wonderful collection of uplifting personal stories that will inspire and enlighten readers. Each chapter tells a different tale, all with a common theme of overcoming large obstacles and challenges in life.
Prose: While each chapter features a different author, the many parts coalesce into a satisfying and cohesive whole.
Originality: Collections of stories that aim to motivate and inspire readers are familiar, but the voices and narratives featured here are broad-ranging, surprising, and impactful.
