About GIRL IN THE MIRROR:

Author Nina Dhillon writes,

"Girl in the Mirror is an important new book that will help young girls plan their lives. Girl in the Mirror is not for girls who want to be cool. It’s not for girls who would like to only enjoy their life before they make their life.

Instead, this book is meant to drive girls toward their life’s journey in such a way that they don’t have to take the wrong path.

The intent of Girl in the Mirror is to teach young girs how to prepare themselves for life, how to make their goals, and then how to achieve them."

Nina Dhillon was born in Shimla, a beautiful city in the Himalayan mountains of northern India. She completed her formal education in India with a master’s degree in business management and worked as a marketing executive before coming to the United States in 1992.

Nina speaks six languages: English, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, and a little French and Spanish.

When Nina arrived in America, she took whatever jobs she could. She worked as a waitress for four years. She also worked at a Subway sandwich shop for six months and then bought the same restaurant in 2000. She earned her real estate license in 1996 and has worked as a real estate broker since then.

She says, “With this book, I’m trying to keep young girls from those kinds of ‘ifs, ands, or buts,’ so that they can pursue their goals and live full and happy lives!”
