The women you meet on these pages could be you or me. You will probably recognize someone you know as they convey their experiences. In the form of songs, letters, poems, and stories, they release joy, sorrow, pain, redemption, and forgiveness. Their stories had to be told, in order to let go. Though some stories were too severe to be included, the truth will be unveiled in these pages as the triumphant stories of women are told. They have moved forward with their lives and are on the road to recovery, finding strength in knowing they are enough and learning to love themselves. Every woman has a story.
