These are seven big, powerful, distinct voices. The courage and resilience of the women behind those voices make this one of the best books of this type I have read in a LONG time. It is one of those books we all need when we are dragging, when we need to refresh that connection with our community and maybe our community isn't right there just now. While we may or may not agree that life is one long birth canal, these women clearly see Light at the end of their tunnels and that Light has transformed them in a way that is simple and direct. There is no hocus pocus here, no new age mumbo-jumbo, just survivors who held on to their senses of humor every step of the way and who can write so well that we can share in their journey.

"In Our Shoes" is revealing, riveting and real. It presents a clear path for self-discovery and survival; of perspective from lessons learned and a visionary promise for all you can become. A recommended read for seekers of a better way.

"In Our Shoes" is a must read! The stories of these 7 women, told in an interesting Past-Present-Future series by each, provide a generous dose of reassurance of the power we forget we have, alone or together. Regardless of our circumstances, we women link together in eerie, synchronistic ways throughout our lives. This is one of the unique gifts to our gender from the Great Creator. And the incredible gift of this book reminds us that in our own communities we can always find healing, comforting links with other women -- if we will only look and reach out to each other, as these women did. What powerful and ultimately healing stories they tell! Read this wonderful book for inspiration, comfort and Truth. You'll go back to it again and again, as I have.

Seven women, using a unique format, individually reveal their life story. They each tell of their past experiences, their present situation and their future aspirations. The ladies are very open, honest and candid in divulging their innermost secrets. This makes for a book you cannot stop reading until it is completed. The reader is compelled to read some of the stories more than once because they are so intriging. You feel you know each person and can identify with their humaness. Everyone has a story to tell. These ladies have done so in a riviting and inspiring manner.

If you're a woman having a hard time with life...like the friend who shared this book with me...this book is especially for you. If you're a man having a hard time understanding life or women, this book is especially for you too! The stories of these women are riveting, as they take you through the lowest lows and highest highs of their life experiences on this planet. But best of all, these accomplished women show us how they triumphed over their adversities and healed themselves so they could create new lives of personal fulfillment and spiritual contentment. And those lessons are what so many of us need as we try to find happiness and fulfillment in these turbulent times. Highly recommended.
