Today Fanny Burney's venture into authorship would not be questionable. She was, after all, a daughter of a celebrated musician, and the Burney family was know to the circle of Samuel Johnson and Hester Thrale. Yet as Kristina Straub ably shows, the public recognition which followed the publication of her first novel placed Fanny Burney in a situation of disturbing ambiguity. Did she become famous or notorious? Was she a prodigy or a freak? In this study of Burney, Straub not only describes and analyzes the disturbing transition of a writer's self-awareness as a woman and a literary artist from private to public terms, but also reveals in Burney's works a hitherto unacknowledged complexity."

Traditionally, as women, we are taught that being a high performer is a badge of honor worthy of our pursuit. However, rooted in a need for attention, very often it's this high performance mindset that ultimately leads to feelings of failure and emptiness. This book will show you how making one key decision -- the decision to step off-stage to identify and consider your true feelings about the roles you play, separate your core desires from learned desires given to us from others (parents, educators, coaches, employers, leaders, relationships). Through the offstage journey, you will make changes and mind shifts, as appropriate, to each focus area (health/self-care, relationships, career/community involvement/profession) and STEP BACK ONSTAGE, performing well, healthfully, and fulfilled, because you know yourself better and are living authentically. This will bring you enriched passion, new purpose, and increased prosperity.
