You Can't Tell Me What to Do!
A Memoir of Perseverance, Reinvention, and Becoming My Own
What if the life you were supposed to live was never really yours?
You Can’t Tell Me What to Do! is a candid, funny, and deeply personal memoir about motherhood, faith, family, career reinvention, illness, love, loss, and learning to trust your own voice.
From becoming a mother at eighteen to building an unexpected career in executive leadership, questioning beliefs she had carried since childhood, surviving cancer, and starting over more than once, Mandy Farris Woods shares the experiences that taught her an important lesson: becoming your own person isn’t something that happens once. It happens every time you decide for yourself what comes next.
