Summary:
Being inspired to act can take many forms. For Shannon Galpin, it meant leaving her career, selling her house, launching a nonprofit and committing her life to advancing education and opportunity for women and girls -- focusing on war-torn Afghanistan. In her lyric and honest memoir, Galpin describes her first forays into fundraising, her deep desire to help women and girls, her love for adventure and sports, and her own inspiration.
