Description
by Lisa Ramelow (Author)
Jack Canfield of "Chicken Soup for the Soul" says, "'Misadventures in My High Heels' is some of the best writing I've read in my entire life. I thought, 'Holy $#&%, this woman really knows how to write!"
When life knocked Lisa Ramelow off her feet, she put on five-inch heels and stood taller than ever.
As a young mother with two small children, Lisa's world shattered the morning she found her husband collapsed on the kitchen floor. Overnight, she went from shy and fearful to the sole provider, forced to reinvent herself in ways she never imagined. But instead of breaking, Lisa found something unexpected: courage with a mischievous streak - and a sense of humor sharp enough to slice through grief.
Misadventures in My High Heels is Lisa Ramelow's unforgettable memoir of how she went from being terrified to talk to strangers to running one of Southern California's most beloved restaurants. Along the way, she tackled life's challenges with grit, sass, stilettos... and an occasional leap of faith worthy of a Hollywood stuntwoman.
Experience the events that changed everything, including...
The shocking moment when Lisa found her husband gone far too soon.
What possessed her to rappel down a 16-story hotel dressed as Marilyn Monroe just to attract new customers.
How she conquered her fear of people and learned to charm, delight, and connect with anyone who walked through her restaurant doors.
The day Lisa climbed the smokestack of the Queen Mary in high heels to prove - to herself and everyone watching - that she was braver than her past.
The tender and complicated journey of reconciling with her father after being ostracized as a pregnant teenager.
The moment her restaurant became a refuge after 9/11, packed with grieving customers seeking a place of comfort and community.
And yes... the time she was fired as a teenager for eating all the mints at the hostess stand.
Told with warmth, wit, and a delightful sense of adventure, Lisa Ramelow's memoir celebrates the power of starting over - no matter how late, how hard, or how high the heels.
For anyone who's ever wondered if it's too late to chase a dream, rebuild a life, or dare to be bold again, Misadventures in My High Heels is the empowering reminder that reinvention is always possible - and sometimes, it's even fabulous.
Lisa Ramelow is also the author of "A Kindness I Will Never Forget."
