No matter if you’re an author writing a book—a journalist—a politician—an employer crafting a performance review, it’s tough to capture the many shades of being human in mere words.


So, when describing author Autry Phelps, She’s a mother first—a perfect demonstration of a nurturer. Then, a wife, capable of allowing someone else to lead, with strong points that are considerably different than most. She’s amicable and effervescent; she cares about the needs of others and has a lively personality. Ambitious and adventurous, she focuses on her goals and lives life to the fullest. Diplomatic and captivating; she speaks honestly without taking sides and has a magnetic personality. Doting and confident; she puts others’ needs before her own, and yet trusts her own abilities. In the words of another astonishing poet and author, she’s a phenomenal woman; she has tenacity and self-acceptance. She is you. She is her. She is Everywoman. She is she. She is Autry Phelps, a woman of multifaceted strengths.
