Woman With a Thousand Hats

She did everything right. She lost her home, health and business anyway.

Be a good person. Be a good worker. Success will follow.

Those were the rules author Denise Kawaii lived by. After surviving a childhood fraught with family dysfunction and poverty, she'd finally found the success she'd always sought.

She had a little blue suburban house, a baby on her hip, and a rapidly expanding business. Things were, in a word, perfect.

But when her best friend died, starting a rapid-fire series of death, ill health and loss, nothing could stop the unravelling of her middle-class life.

When survival seemed hopeless, Denise dared to do the impossible. She began using storytelling to inspire others.

In Woman With a Thousand Hats, Kawaii gets real about failure, grief and shame. Be inspired to face challenging relationships, career-ending loss as you read the astonishing story of a woman who didn't give up, even when it would have been the sensible thing to do.
