“It won’t be pretty for a while, my friends, but we’ll get through it together,” (p. 73 of Jordan Christy’s How to Be a Hepburn in a Hilton World)
This quote generally sums up Christy’s approach to mentoring women who want to live “with style, class and grace.” Unlike a self help book, Christy has written a reference manual of modern etiquette that draws on the wisdom of old-fashioned advice.
In the introduction, Christy acquaints the reader with the “Stupid Girls,” who epitomize the antithesis of living with style, class and grace. Christy’s aim is to
“make intelligent look attractive! Can we do it? Again, I say YES! But first, you must know what you’re up against in a Stupid Girl world. It’s easy to slide into stupidity with just a few small, bad choices, so we need to be on the lookout for them ahead of time.”
The ensuing chapters provide concrete examples of how one can make the choices that will reap huge benefits towards building the character of a woman who emulates style, class and grace. Her advice may not cover new ground; for example, one of her key points is the importance to maintain eye contact during conversation, but what’s unique is her ability to convey valuable life lessons in a non-preaching manner. Instead of lecturing on how a woman should act, Christy shares her insight on how a woman should respect herself.
How to be a Hepburn in a Hilton World reads almost like a diary complied of advice from a woman who with a strong sense of self respect. Jordan Christy inspires the reader to demonstrate self respect from how you spend your time to the people you spend time with, from your words to your actions. In a flawless manner, this incredibly written book nudges the reader into being a stronger woman.
“Unforgettable” is the best word to describe How to be a Hepburn in a Hilton World, as well as this reader’s rating. This is a fantastic gift for a high school graduate!
