This month's cover woman is Mayor Lillie McKoy of Maxton, North Carolina. Her story is one you won't want to miss as what she has accomplished in her hometown is inspiring, amazing and truly offers hope to many others who aspire to break through traditional barriers. Mayor McKoy, on behalf of the North Carolina Journal for Women, I applaud your vision, perseverance, and most of all, your fortitude to overcome so many obstacles in your quest to better yourself and your community. Thank you for the time you have given to the Journal to tell your story. Best of luck to you, your staff, and to the town of Maxton. Also this month we welcome new contributors to the Journal - Dr. John Pittman of the Carolina Center for Integrative Medicine, Cara McLauchan, Sheyenne Kreamer, and Janis Pettit. This month's featured books are "Brainwriting" and "A Woman's Guide to Successful Negotiating," both very interesting and worthwhile books. "Brainwriting," by Irene Levitt, offers insight into the world of handwriting analysis and how using it can help the reader learn more about herself and others. In "A Woman's Guide to Successful Negotiating" co-authors, Lee and Jessica Miller explore ten common mistakes women make when negotiating. Coming next month, you will meet Sara Williams, the recruitment coordinator of the Sister Study Project and a six-year breast cancer survivor. Until then, may the luck of the Irish be with you.
