(ISBN 978-1-960373-26-7 (pb); 224 pages, $16.95)HERE’S THE STORY … Nine Women Write Their Lives originated from an online course called “Writing about Your Mom without Guilt,” for the Story Circle Network, an international
writing organization. Not wanting to end our special bond, we continued to share our writing via Zoom after the course ended. What emerged is this anthology of forty-two pieces: essays, stories, and poems.
In this book, we didn’t focus on the usual “female” subjects, such as our significant others, children, and jobs. We wrote about the women we had been and the women we wanted to be. Each of us had lived a full and singular life, from growing up in the Deep South to the Australian outback to the alleys of Brooklyn to the multiple displacements as a military brat schooled in Europe. These experiences produced stories about childhood trauma, travels, illnesses, reaching life’s goals, friendships, colorful relatives, books, and the pandemic.
Women are capable of generous and congenial support. We lift each other during life’s trials and rejoice in our successes. As such, we think this unique collection will inspire and entertain many, taking readers on a provocative journey.
