Mighty Gorgeous Summary

Mighty Gorgeous: A Little Book About Messy Love by Amy Ferris

Why are we so determined to be loved rather than to love ourselves? Why is it so hard to forgive our imperfections and remember that we're extraordinary? Why are we so willing to listen to others' voices when our own voice is right here, screaming to be heard?

Full of the stories that have brought her to this moment and the accompanying wisdom those experiences have lent her, Mighty Gorgeous is Amy Ferris's answer-tender, fierce, irreverent-to these questions, and much more.

Why? Because we are not on this earth to master suffering; we are here to create magic. Because perfection is overrated; all of our flaws and imperfections and scars are our beauty marks. Because all women deserve to speak their truth, to be heard and seen, to awaken to their own greatness. Because life is so very hard and so very brutal at times, bitter and cruel and excruciatingly difficult to navigate, and sometimes we need a light to guide us through that darkness. Because it's time for us all to come home to ourselves-and Amy's here to cheerlead you all the way to your own front door.

Mighty Gorgeous Reviews

In Ferris's powerful and brilliant new book, Mighty Gorgeous, she once again demonstrates an uncanny and extraordinary ability to grab you by the heart and take your breath away, like no one else. Each vignette glitters with truth, honesty, inspiration, and a mind-bending understanding of how life is not about either/or but a complex constellation of experience, scars, joys and hope. Her words build epic revelations from life's most intimate and private details, and ring with abiding truths that will guide and comfort you for the rest of your life. -Jessica Keener, author of Night Swim and Strangers in Budapest
