I Like Big Books and I Cannot Lie!

Written By Rebecca Cahak

We recently held our 2nd Annual FIERCE100 Women’s Conference and one of the most asked questions was for book recommendations. We heard you and want to share the following titles with you to enjoy over the holidays, winter or even next summer on the beach. Read them for you, to invest in you and the people and world around you. They make great gifts as well. Cheers to an incredible 2025!!
