Thank you to the author that provided me this book in exchange for an honest review
Synopsis:
Science would have us believe that we are nothing but cell upon cell. I disagree. We are made up of stories. The stories we hear from our mothers, the ones we tell our daughters. The tales we share with sisters and friends. The ones we never say out loud, but are heavy on our minds and run like a fever in our blood.
There are a multitude of great divides between us; race, religion, cultures, the way we dress, the languages we speak, but the stories we tell bridge us together in the universal tongue of smiles, tears, pain and laughter. They remind us that, as women, we’re all chasing similar fairy-tales.
This book is a call to celebrate the bridges, delight in our stories and to focus on the joy in our lives right now, rather than racing behind the happily-ever-after. That will come in it’s own time
Review:
This is an amazing read and a powerful book.
As a female I recommend that you read this book to hear the stories of those around us and the trouble and hard times that we all face. Life isn’t a bed of roses and it wakes you up to the fact that that the people online that constantly whinge about how hard their life is, don’t have nothing compared to those that have suffered.
But the small mentions of suffering or hardship in this book, get overlooked by not only the beauty of this book but also the deep meanings that take on a personal level. It brings light to the importance of family, friends and having a positive look on life. It was really well written!
