Reviews
This is a phenomenal anthology comprised of black women through different walks of life. I found it to be very encouraging and a fresh of air to read the various stories and life experiences of these women who pushed through adversity be-it externally or internally. I think this anthology is a great read; especially as we as a people are re-learning to love, trust and be a safe space for each other like the family and extended family we are. - nic_dd (Amazon)
