Over het boek
In 1905, Beth faced the harsh reality of supporting her family as a single mother. She attended a business school and found a job, but soon realized that the income would not be adequate.
A friend in the western United States had written that good jobs seemed to bloom on nearly every corner. After careful consideration and prayer, Beth, her two children, and her mother boarded a train in Jacksonville, Florida. After changing trains in Atlanta and New Orleans, they arrived in Los Angeles, California, one week later.
Once Beth and her family reached California, however, Beth realized that the journey had just begun. She faced prejudice and sexism repeatedly because she was a single woman with children. That changed when she met influential men who championed her work. An Unexpected Courage is the story of a woman who through persistence and courage stepped into the male-dominated world of advertising.
