Reading the stories of these women, I could feel the pain many of them must deal with on a daily basis. Yet they struggle on through the trials, with God walking beside them through it all. As I read through the stories, it just underlined for me the knowledge that God is my strength and my shield. No matter what I must go through in this life, I can go through it with His strength to get me through. Why would people choose not to lean on a loving, caring God to find strength and hope for the future? Would it be better or easier without Him?These women know that it would not be. Many of them tried that first, and found that it just isn't so! I enjoyed reading their stories, and seeing how they all turned from depending on self, to depending on God instead.I enjoyed the in-betweens by the author as well. Chapter 12, The Quilt is a very touching story. And I enjoyed the poem in chapter 21. Both (by unknown authors) fit the theme of the book quite well.Sometimes I'm not sure some of the women got across as well as they might have liked, what they were trying to say. But trying to express what they were can be hard. The reader should keep that in mind.I think I was touched most by Doris in chapter eight. Hers is definitely a story worth telling, and I was glad that she was brave enough to share it.I was given a copy of this through Story Cartel, in exchange for my honest review.
