27 authors have come together to produce one awesome book to celebrate women!
In ancient times, women were regarded as sacred. They were thought to hold the mystical power of creation—responsible for the continuation of our species. With the rise of science and religion, these myths were dispelled and their plight began.

Excerpt:
Adella by Morgan Summerfield
A week later, Bliss was born.” Adella patted the arm of the child in her lap. “Doctors told me she would likely be retarded, given my ge and the complications over the nine months associated with my clumsiness.” Sarcastically, Adella spewed, “After all, one must be very uncoordinated to fall down the stairs so many times.”
“How could people not see what was going on?”
“People don’t want to see. They don’t want to believe that a neighbor, a friend, or a fellow worker is capable of such things.”
“I don’t understand how a man can do that and not feel badly. Did he ever feel badly … apologize … show remorse?” Anger caused Tom to grip the steering wheel tighter and he forced himself to loosen his grip, for fear of alarming the woman.
“No. I tried everything I knew to make him love me. But, I eventually realized that change was in his hands, not mine.”
