I think my favorite book of 2011 is Joy For Beginners. The main character is challenged by her daughter to step out of her comfort zone, and she, in turn, asks her friends to do the same.  I was inspired by the characters' choice to be courageous and take up their individual challenges.  I loved the way each woman approached her task with dread, but in the end, became a better person. After reading the book, and asking my mom and sisters to read it, too, I went ziplining for the first time while on vacation with them, and my mom challenged us to help her make a memory quilt in honor of her 70th birthday."
