Celebration of Womanhood ~ Book Excerpt
Have you ever felt so alone, that you asked yourself these kinds of questions:  "How am I going to make it? Why is this happening to me?" Maybe you have passed a smiling woman in the grocery store and began to wonder what was behind that same smile women share with one another.  Has she ever had to walk the journey of breast or ovarian cancer?  Has she been at the height of her career while hiding the secret of spousal abuse?  Has she been molested, had to bury her mother, struggled with depression, battled weight issues, or struggled with the decision of having an abortion?

We face our daily routines, focusing on the task at hand while our minds wander to our past and current situations and what the outcome will be.  When we pass other women, we see their beautiful smiles, often a reflection of our own cordial gestures.  Are those smiles real, or are they a forced version of a knowing smile trying to conceal the painful truth? Meet 30 extraordinary women who have walked many different journeys in life.  These women are mothers, wives, sisters, pastors, students and professional women from all over the nation.  They are everyday women of all ages and backgrounds who have made it through their journeys and SURVIVED! Some of their endings are not the happy endings we would like to see.  In fact, some endings are simply beginnings of another chapter in their lives with unknown outcomes of limitless possibilities.  Whatever your point of view, these are women just like you...SURVIVORS!
