Being Gay is Being Free, Feeling Empowered

It is hard for Priscilla Porcupine to attend parties with her friends because her prickly quills ruin the fun and hurt people. After a birthday party that ends badly, she sadly retreats to her den because she doesn't want to hurt anyone else. But she is hurting, too. So her friends put their heads together and collect items from the forest to create a soft coat Priscilla can wear in public to keep her quills from hurting others. Priscilla is overjoyed and grateful for the kindness of her friends. It's Hard to Hug a Porcupine reminds readers that friends who struggle to fit in are often the ones who need kindness most.

Overcome and Lead recounts the powerful stories and essential lessons learned from Anne Beiler''s time as the founder of Auntie Anne''s┬«, the world''s largest pretzel franchise. As a former Amish girl with an eighth-grade education, Anne had many obstacles to overcome as she transformed into one of the first female founders of an international franchise-the greatest obstacle, however, was herself. With no capital, no formal education, and no business plan, Anne launched Auntie Anne''s Pretzels after a series of tragic life events left her broken, traumatized, and in a deep depression. As Anne and her team grew the company, she also grew herself personally and professionally. Join Anne as she takes you on a journey from feeling overwhelmed and inadequate to being an empowered and confident leader. If you want to make a difference in your area of influence, this story is for you. It is for those of you currently leading people-whether at work, home, or in your community and for those aspiring to lead someday. Building Auntie Anne''s was a journey that required Anne to bring her whole self-both the gifts and the broken bits-to build something bigger than she ever imagined. Overcome and Lead will help you to do the same.
