4I decided to do a book for women to express who they are as women, but in a way where each woman felt free to express themselves through personal stories of what their truth was and is. As a woman, I believe we should all come together and be with one accord, but that is not always the case. We know that women do not always get along, but I want to be living proof and make that a false claim. The true issue is that there are women who do not like themselves, so it becomes almost impossible for them to like others.

With the vision of this women's book, I believe it will be a spiritual and emotional release. As women, we can take a look at ourselves and how view other women. Despite all our trials and struggles, we want better. We can do better for ourselves without passing judgment against our sisters. We can encourage one another to help build each other up. I am very clear about the purpose of this book because I know that women will identify with these stories through things that women experience. But through it all and despite what I have gone through, I give God the praise: "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." (Psalm 139:14)
