Good Moms DO Cry by Gifted Books Founder Wins International Impact Book Award
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — April 13, 2026 — Gifted Books proudly announces that Good Moms DO Cry by Lucy Chen has been honored with the International Impact Book Award, recognizing its powerful contribution to leadership, resilience, and personal transformation.
Written from the perspective of a first-generation immigrant, corporate executive, and mother, Good Moms DO Cry offers an unfiltered look at what resilience truly means when life does not go according to plan. Moving beyond polished narratives, Chen presents a deeply authentic exploration of struggle, growth, and leadership.
“I didn’t write the polished version of resilience,” Chen said. “I wrote the real one.”
The award underscores a message that has resonated across industries—from corporate boardrooms to leadership conferences and executive coaching sessions: the most effective leaders are not those who conceal their challenges, but those who learn to lead through them.
Through Good Moms DO Cry, Chen challenges traditional notions of leadership by reframing vulnerability as a strength rather than a weakness. The book equips readers with the mindset and perspective needed to navigate uncertainty, build stronger teams, and lead with authenticity in high-pressure environments.
“This recognition means more than an award,” Chen shared. “It validates what I’ve seen firsthand—that resilience is not about having all the answers, but about how we show up when we don’t.”
The themes explored in the book extend into Chen’s broader work as a keynote speaker and executive coach, where she partners with organizations to help leaders navigate change, foster trust, and create lasting impact. Her talks and coaching engagements focus on equipping leaders with tools that go beyond theory—offering practical, human-centered strategies that resonate long after the event ends.
As organizations continue to face rapid change and uncertainty, Good Moms DO Cry serves as both a reflection and a guide—empowering leaders to embrace authenticity as a foundation for resilience and growth.
