Aim High Extraordinary Stories of Hispanic and Latina Women is a book that offers hope and inspiration. Author Laura Contreras-Rowe has traveled the country in the last year meeting and interviewing inspirational and amazing Hispanic and Latina women. This book features 33 thought-provoking positive role models from all over the country and from different professional backgrounds to tell their story, delivering a powerful message that despite financial challenges, family obligations and horrific environment or events: a young Hispanic or Latina woman can succeed to astounding heights with courage and tenacity.

“It is such a great honor to have been included in such a powerful and inspirational group of women.   This is something that I will treasure going forward, and also represents a meaningful part of my life.”  Erica said of the honor.   “I hope that many other young latinas will benefit from the stories told within the book, and that each woman is blessed with even more success in the future.”

Copies of the book can be reserved online.   Special personalized signed copies can also be reserved at the Horsepower & Heels E-Store.
