This was an amazing take on woman during the antebellum period.  Each one of these stories features a woman in a completely different social level. While neither of these women are in same situation each one has persevered and has done whatever it took to survive.I think that this book is something every woman should read.  It made me feel a sense of pride knowing that these women who were broken down, fought hard to rise again.
