About the author

Trista Hendren founded Girl God Books in 2011 to support a necessary unraveling of the patriarchal world view of divinity. Her first book—The Girl God, a children's picture book—was a response to her own daughter's inability to see herself reflected in God. Since then, she has published more than 40 books by a dozen women from across the globe. You can read more about her projects at www.thegirlgod.com.

[Molly · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've had this book for a while but didn't feel particularly interested in reading it because I'm not a single mother, have never been a single mother, and hope to never be on. However, I made a mistake in thinking the book wouldn't relate or me or be a valuable read for a non-single mother. It is an extremely good and valuable book and anyone who cares about women, mothers, or the ongoing, desperate relevance of feminism in the political, social, and culture climate should read it!

Thank you Trista, for taking the initiative to get these women's stories out there! I didn't want to put the book down.
