When Women Were Warriors Book I
When Women Were Warriors Book I
The classic hero of myth and legend is defined in masculine terms, but to judge a woman by the strengths and virtues of the typical male hero does her an injustice. The hero of "When Women Were Warriors" becomes a hero by learning to master herself and to understand the human heart.

This book flows like a poem. Listening to the characters as they think, and as they interact, is simply magical. This is not a book of battles, bravery, and death….though it includes all that. This is a book of duty, of belonging, of sharing and caring. Cannot wait to continue reading book 2 and 3.
