This book was simply amazing!!! To hear the voices of some of the most incredible and inspired writers in the nation was a delicious treat that evoked all sorts of emotions and thoughts. The range and delightful stories makes you think that you have somehow had an opportunity to eavesdrop at a "hen party" where the participants allow their truths to come forth. Thanks to the contributors. This is an important piece of literature which will inspire, educate, entertain and delight.
