In a church that does not always listen to the voices of women, it is critical that we have pages in which to share our stories and gain strength from one another's journeys. It is in the sharing of stories that hearts are changed and transformation begins. Read these stories, be inspired to share your story and, together, we'll move the church one step closer to justice!Nicole Sotelo, Author of Women Healing from Abuse: Meditations for Finding Peace (Paulist Press)

More testimony and crie de coeur than complaint, Kate Dugan's and Jen Owen's eloquent, often poetic collection of memoirs from young Catholic women is deeply rooted in their Catholic identity. These young women are willing to raise difficult questions, but always with an appreciation of a church that for all its failings has nourished their faith and remains for them a home. They represent a significant part of the Catholic community; their story deserves a hearing. -- Thomas P. Rausch, SJ
