Women of Spirit – harnessing the power of storytelling… The purpose of this book is to support and inspire women in times of heartbreak, loneliness or pain. This is a book for those who believe that failure is not an option. Storytelling is one of the most powerful resources that human beings possess. The act of telling a story enables us to relate to one another and to make sense of humanity. Stories inform people’s emotional lives whilst teaching invaluable moral lessons. Among the many incredible stories in this anthology, readers will learn how women defied the odds and built successful businesses, how they discovered that being widowed was not the end of their life, and how they refused to allow a hostage situation and childhood sexual abuse to define their lives. Women of Spirit documents various aspects of the human condition and is full of guidance and inspiration. However harrowing, every story has a happy ending to bring about hope and courage. "Books so full of discovery and enlightenment, they literally give you goosebumps. They are such a feel-good factor in a world that could honestly use this. A must-have for both men and women." – Henny Maltby
