A collection of articles from the Chicago Tribune's popular feature that profiles the life of a different Chicago-area woman every week, telling their most fascinating stories from youth through to the present. These women are everyday examples of inspiring, hardworking, and determined role models whose successes are too often overshadowed. These are stories of women who make a positive difference in society and their surrounding environments. From nonprofit organizers to business executives, local educators to community leaders, and athletes to artists, this book features an eclectic mix of women who run the professional gamut. What they all share, though, is what lends the series its name: they are simply remarkable.
2017 Christy Award winner! (Short Form category) From the best-selling author of War Room. . . Every day, Paige Redwine is haunted by a choice she made when she was only seventeen. Now, just past forty, still single, she lives a tidy, controlled life as a well-respected English professor at a college in Nashville.

As Treha sets aside the search for her birth mother to concentrate on her education, Paige summons the courage to reach out to her daughter, never dreaming her actions will transform them both as she faces a past she thought she'd laid to rest.
