I believe everyone has a story inside that should be shared and published for others to enjoy! Thank God (literally) that Lisa chose to write one! My intention when I started at 2 in the morning was to read the first chapter then go back to sleep! But it took me on such a journey of emotions from laughing to crying that I couldn't put it down until finished! I loved it! Her honesty and innate ability to express her emotions and experiences not only on paper but in real life is endearing! I believe she is one of the most amazing people I have ever met on multiple levels. So glad to have her as my soul sister!

With a smile on her face, Lisa has bared her soul in this book, and I'm proud of her in taking this endeavor on.

Lisa is one of the most courageous women I know. She also has the biggest heart and one of the sharpest minds of anyone I've ever worked with. In our early days of working together in management consulting she became one of my greatest mentors, always pushing me out of my comfort zone with kindness and shared laughter. Most recently, I've been privileged to see her step out of her own comfort zone to tell her life story. Most people go through life dreaming of what they would do if they couldn't fail and never pursue those dreams, but not Lisa. Lisa follows her heart and values to make her dreams come true, inspiring and changing other people's lives along the way. Lisa is the best friend that is always in your corner as she walks her own talk of living a life of courage, authenticity, friendship, and love.

I have known Lisa since the early 2000’s, first time was at a 2-5 cash table and right away, I sensed her special gift and passion for poker. That friendship has span through out the years. So every time we are reunited back at the WSOP, I am always on her rail and wishing her the best and her first bracelet.
