On the day my daughter was born, I started writing a book for her. The plan was that, over the course of her life, I'd fill it with advice on how to be a strong woman. But along the way, I got caught up in the stories of Amelia Earhart, Sally Ride, and so many others. So how do you pick the best heroes for your kids?

As I tell my daughter, when you want something in life - no matter how impossible it seems - you need to fight for it.

The worst lies in life are the ones we tell ourselves.

There's nothing in the world like buried treasure-and people hungry and obsessed enough to risk their lives for it. Pirate Hunters isn't just a good story-it's a true one. Searching for the souls of its explorers, it takes you to the far tip of the plank and plunges you deep to the bottom of the ocean.

The past may not hurt you, but it won't challenge you, either.

Life is filled with trapdoors.

When you believe in something, fight for it. And when you see injustice, fight harder than you've ever fought before.
