Book excerpt: The inspiring story of the woman at the center of the historic discrimination case that inspired the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act, her fight for equal rights in the workplace, and how her determination became a victory for the nation Lilly Ledbetter always knew that she was destined for something more than what she was born into: a house with no running water or electricity in the small town of Possum Trot, Alabama. In 1979, when Lilly applied for her dream job at the Goodyear tire factory, she got the job. She was one of the first women hired at the management level. Nineteen years after her first day at Goodyear, Lilly received an anonymous note revealing that she was making thousands less per year than the men in her position. When she filed a sex-discrimination case against Goodyear, Lilly won--and then heartbreakingly lost on appeal. Over the next eight years, her case made it all the way to the Supreme Court, where she lost again. But Lilly continuted to fight, becoming the namesake of President Barack Obama's first official piece of legislation. Both a deeply inspiring memoir and a powerful call to arms, Grace and Grit is the story of a true American icon.

Book excerpt: We don't volunteer for hardships in life, but we're also not ignorant enough to imagine they won't show up. We know the gritty part of life will come, but along with it, we get to choose to believe that the grace will show up, too. And as long as we look for it, we don't have to face our lives with the same fear we used to. We feel steadier and more powerful in the face of whatever challenge we confront. One of the most effective ways in history to enhance that level of steadiness, understanding, and trust is the ability to share our stories of grit and grace with the people in our lives; to give them strength and tools to arm themselves for their next unknown struggle. This author's alliance that we have created within Grit & Grace is a community of women who know, love and respect each other. It is our intention to invite women to connect with any of the authors you feel led to. Consider this book an open door to create more conversation, share stories, and expand our collective wisdom. We've each witnessed, first hand, the extraordinary impact women have made when they intentionally come together for a powerful purpose.
