Perfectly Imperfect: A Life In Progress (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
I went to a women's conference a couple months ago. I was invited by a lady who is a finance aficionado/ expert; an entrepreneur of the sorts and runs MAKERS for PBS. Anyway, I attended this conference and had to leave before Lee Woodruff got to speak. I was inspired by the speakers before her and left with a different attitude then I came in with. I did receive a signed copy of this book a couple week after the conference from my friend. Since she knew the questions I wanted to ask Mrs. Woodruff (finance questions), my friend took the time to find out the answers and forward them to me. I was excited to read this book, not knowing anything about it ... though, I was somewhat disappointed. I thought it was going to be about something completely different (ideas and outlooks in the business/finance world.) I'm thankful for the signed copy and I think/believe that I would really like her as a person. I like a dedicated/independent woman that I feel she is, but as for this book, I would have rather spent my time reading something else. I had to skim over the chapter on her dad. That hits too close to home. I respect Mrs. Woodruff and applaud her for writing, just not the type of stories I like to read. After attending an author event at my local library with Lee Woodruff I was eager to read her books. This collection of essays was insightful, entertaining and thought provoking. Woodruff covers topics from her sagging knees to her daughter's hearing issues, her teen son's driving license to the strength of friendships, her father's aging to her husband's brain damage. While the particulars are unique to Woodruff I believe most women can relate to some of the themes, thoughts and conclusions. She shares personal details that lets the reader feel a connection, someone you would like for a next door neighbor.
