Opis

This collection of stories and poems represents a unique and collective writing journey from a diverse group of women writers. The settings of their verses and narratives vary. From a moment's realization on the Ocean City, NJ boardwalk when a woman admits her marriage is over - to a Sunday afternoon's meditation on life's choices and missed opportunities - to the beauty in a passing snowflake - to a humorous instance of Internet dating while searching for one last chance at romance - this anthology will inspire, delight and amuse. "The Women's Writing Circle has delivered a stunning collection of standalone stories and poems that sing out in harmony to touch a universal chord about life," writes Kathleen Pooler, author, blogger and memoir writer. "Each story addresses a specific theme - love, loss, friendships, childhood memories, career decisions, aging, challenging life events such as divorce, abuse and the death of a loved one - with compassion and insight. It is a celebration of women's voices and a testimony to the strength of women to influence others through sharing the hearts of their stories." Says, Madeline Sharples, author of the memoir Leaving the Hall Light On, "The heartfelt and true-life stories that grace the pages of Slants of Light are simply elegant. Rich dialogue, vibrant settings, and situations we can all find familiar remind us of the importance of women writing about our lives and the healing effects of telling our truths."
