Jack Canfield, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, said about this book: “Misadventures in My High Heels is some of the best writing I've read in my entire life.”

When life knocked Lisa Ramelow off her feet, she put on five-inch heels and stood taller than ever.

In this inspirational women’s memoir, Lisa shares the remarkable true story of rebuilding her life after devastating loss. When her husband died suddenly, she was left as a young single mother with two small children and a future she never expected.

Instead of giving up, she discovered something powerful: courage, resilience and a mischievous sense of humor that carried her through life’s most difficult moments.

Follow Lisa’s journey from a shy and fearful young woman to the confident owner of one of Southern California’s most beloved restaurants. Along the way she tackles life’s challenges with grit, humor and a fearless spirit.

Inside this unforgettable personal transformation memoir, readers will discover the moment Lisa lost her husband, why she rappelled down a sixteen story hotel dressed as Marilyn Monroe to attract customers, how she conquered her fear of people and learned to connect with anyone who walked through her restaurant doors, the day she climbed the smokestack of the historic Queen Mary in high heels to prove she was braver than her past, the complicated journey of reconciling with her father after being ostracized as a pregnant teenager, and how her restaurant became a place of comfort and community after the events of September 11.

Told with warmth, wit and a fearless sense of adventure, this humorous inspirational memoir celebrates the power of starting over.

For readers who love true stories of resilience, women’s life journeys and inspiring personal transformations, Misadventures in My High Heels is a reminder that it is never too late to rebuild your life or chase your dreams.
