called The Hidden Lamp which are stories about women and their journey to enlightenment. The stories are very empowering and filled with great insight. You might enjoy it too.

Simplicity and ordinariness are the heart of compassion as far as I can tell. I told my teacher one day that I wanted extraordinary and he chided me saying, no ordinary is best. It took some time for that to really sink in and I recognize the truth of it. Enlightenment is ordinary living without the covering of "our story."
