Nine Lives: Stories of Women Business Owners Landing On Their Feet was recently released and the book offers a candid look into the hearts and minds of nine extraordinary women business owners from around the country.

Take Van Eure, who inherited the Angus Barn from her father in 1988. Oh, sure," people said at the time, a woman can run a diner or a little coffee shop. But a 650-seat restaurant, thats a mans job." Van disagreed. She transformed the Barn" into a world famous restaurant. There is Rebecca Boenigk, the CEO of the only woman-owned business ever to trade on NASDAQ who found that the quarterly numbers dance" wasnt to her liking and bought her company back from the public market. And when Adrian Guglielmo, raised in a predominantly deaf family, became aware that the deaf were starving for jobs, for opportunities, for significance, she knew she had to act. She started a creative firm staffed entirely by disabled employees.

The stories the women told were awe inspiring, funny, mind boggling . . . and sometimes painful," Cantando wrote in the preface. There were tough moments when the women opened up about still-raw details of their past ... Yet, time and again, these brave women said that they were willing to swallow their discomfort if other women could learn from or be inspired by their struggles."
