Danna Lewis, a Multi-Faceted Life Coach, Author, Brand Advisor, Radio and Podcast Host and Much More, Unveils the 2nd Edition of Her Book, ‘The Indisputable Gift of Men’
Lewis recently put out the second edition of her book, The Indisputable Gift of Men (DreamSculpt Books), which spawned from finding herself in the midst of the most joyful, heartbreaking, and empowering romantic encounters of her life after years of hearing women, including herself, complain about men.
