Tales of Womanhood

Tales of Womanhood is a powerful Award Winning Book of a compilation of stories from eight women from across the globe. Derived from their true life experiences each writer shares how they used their strength and courage to overcome the challenges they've faced. The women tell us honestly how grief, depression, loneliness, health, cultural and family issues have affected them. They also describe how they've worked with their faith, their own skills and the support of others to move forward beyond these difficulties. Editor Susan Brookes says: 'Several of the stories brought tears to my eyes and many of the circumstances I could wholly relate to. Readers will certainly gain strength and encouragement to deal with their own challenges and lead the best lives they can and be the best version of themselves, through reading these tales. Compiler Maureen Mbondiah-Mandipaza has triumphed in bringing a diverse set of women together to create a truly compelling masterpiece.'
