If you are looking for a solid dose of inspiration, this is your book! I loved the story and learned so much about the legal profession. A Must Read!!
Sandra Chapnik has beautifully related her life story, balancing the responsibilities of motherhood with professional life. With remarkable detail, this talented and accomplished judge has written a feel-good, warm-hearted recollection of her life experiences. Her words will warm your memory of your own life. With sprinklings of wisdom and solid advice, she leaves the reader inspired to pursue exciting challenges.
It’s hard to put this book down as her ambitions and achievements are beautifully told. How comforting it is to see how this spirited and special lady has made a difference with her many dedicated and devoted contributions and with her vision and commitment to so many meaningful causes.
Sandra Chapnik illustrates powerfully in her book through her own example how women can achieve true equality. I have always said that it is only when a woman, who has enjoyed traditional roles, can also be an innovator, trail blazer, and excel professionally that we have achieved emancipation. From day one Chapnik had a strong will and made her own choices. She describes her life in touching detail, the joys, sorrows, temporary defeats, and ultimate victories. She inspires us simply by telling us about her life experiences with candour and in exceptional prose.
Get ready to be enthralled, motivated, and moved by the extraordinary journey described in “BOLD DECISIONS – Memoirs of a Judge, Lawyer, Teacher, and Working Mom.” The author of this outstanding memoir bravely invites readers into her world as she negotiates the challenging terrains of law, justice, education, and motherhood, weaving a tapestry of experiences that is both thought-provoking and empowering.
By thirty, she had four children.
By forty, she was a practising lawyer.
At fifty, she was appointed a Superior Court Judge, a position she occupied for over twenty-four years.
BOLD DECISIONS is the powerful memoir of a judge, lawyer, teacher, and working mom that will inspire generations.
Congratulations again, Sandra on this incredible publication and thank you for sharing your story with us.
