Every story was moving and heartbreaking

Every story was moving and heartbreaking . Thank you for sharing your experiences. I’m a Latina woman but I still learned a lot.

A MUST READ!!!

It was therapeutic. A book that we must all read regardless of color, sexual orientation, and political affiliations.

Eye Opening

Thank you. Eye opening and uplifting. To see the world in so many different ways. From different women I alway I thought it was all the same for women. Thank you for that slap of reality.
