Service, Sisterhood ... and a Son: A Journey of Leadership, Purpose, and Impact Across 35 Years

A powerful story of service, leadership, and the transformative power of sisterhood.

What does it truly mean to live a life of service?

In Service, Sisterhood ... and a Son, Sandra Dieffenthaller invites you into an extraordinary journey spanning over thirty-five years of leadership, friendship, and purpose through her work with Soroptimist International, a global volunteer movement dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls.

What began as a simple invitation to attend a meeting evolved into a life-changing path - one that carried her from local community projects to global stages, from fundraising in markets to representing her country in international forums, and from navigating sisterhood to confronting moments that would ultimately test her deepest beliefs.

Through heartfelt storytelling, humour, and honest reflection, Sandra shares:

• The realities of leading within a women's organisation

• The power and complexity of sisterhood

• The lessons learned through service, resilience, and growth

• The impact of small actions in transforming lives

Drawing from her years as an educator and leader, Sandra brings a unique voice shaped by discipline, compassion, and purpose.

But this is more than a memoir.

It is a story for every woman who has ever wondered:

• How can I make a difference?

• Is it too late to find my purpose?

• What does leadership truly look like in real life?

Whether you are a professional, retiree, or someone searching for deeper meaning, this book will inspire you to see service not as obligation but as opportunity.

With wisdom gained from decades of experience and a voice that is both authoritative and deeply human, Sandra reminds us that purpose is not something we find - it is something we live.

And sometimes, it begins with simply saying yes.
