Trial and tribulation are nothing new to Vera Simpson Gaines. When her mother sickened and died when Vera was a young girl, the effects were devastating, yet she managed to come through with her sanity intact and a strong sense of determination which served her well in later years as she faced more difficulties. Firmly rooted in her faith and the belief that God does not give you more than you can handle, in the intervening years she has faced estrangement from her father and other family members, an often rocky marriage, and scores of health problems that would have felled a lesser woman.

Every day, whether they’re competing in the business world or serving in a nonprofit, women hear that they’re not enough. They’re too emotional to lead, and the way they act, speak, and even think is detrimental to success. But in Lead like a Woman, former Fortune 500 executive Deborah Smith Pegues shows that your uniquely female qualities can position you for success - if you know how to use them.

Guided by her giggling Uncle Puggie and comforted by the gentle purrs of her magical feline friend, Alice mishears a grown-up word—Trichotillomania—and thinks it must be something fun, something silly, maybe even a “Tickle Tickle Many.” But as her thoughts wander from moths to moonlight and feelings she doesn’t yet have words for, Alice begins to discover that some things—like moths, emotions, and even tangled thoughts—take time to understand.

Alice has big plans—castles to build, dragons to chase, and just one more picture to color. Who has time for sleep? But her clever cat, Stripes, warns her: Stay up too late, and you might wake up as… a Sleepy Sheep! Alice laughs—until morning arrives, and uh-oh… she’s covered in wool, speaking in sleepy ‘Baaaahs’, and moving way too slow for adventures! How will she break the Sleepy Sheep spell before she’s stuck in a world of yawns forever?
