If you loved the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series, you’ll love The Lemonade Stand: From Sour to Sweet – Inspiring Women’s Stories of Strength and Success (self-published, $14.69 on Amazon). Phoenix content specialist Michelle Faust took inspiration from the publishing institution’s anthology format to create her own compendium of uplifting stories from women who have overcome adversity, from prison sentences to cancer diagnoses. If you’re looking for a feel-good read in these feeling-terrible times, give it a try. In doing so, you’ll help people who are currently experiencing obstacles: 10 percent of the proceeds from sales of the print and Kindle versions go to charities that benefit women, children and families.
