Before ATMs and e-transfers, if you needed money, you either had to rush to the bank before close or borrow from someone. As colleagues, authors Bonnie Brightlee and Christine Horgan frequently borrowed lunch money from one another. Five dollars here, five dollars there. This continuous exchange became the touchstone of a long-lasting friendship. A friendship that values trust and the wisdom of women. Their desire to pay homage to this wisdom inspired Bonnie and Christine to craft The Floating $5: Women’s Words of Wisdom. Motivational and encouraging, these affirmations show the profound effects these words had on the numerous contributors who share them. From mothers, aunts, and grandmothers to horse-riding coaches and AA sponsors, these wise women guide readers through overcoming personal hardships. They’re reminders that we’re never alone, not when we have their guidance to turn to time and again. Flip to any page and sit with these words worth remembering. No matter if a woman is eight or eighty (or anywhere in between), she has experience from her generation, station, and stage of life. While a woman’s path is individual, our experiences and what we can learn from them contain universal truths. The Floating $5 honours these truths and the legacies of the wise women who came before us.
