Roar: True Tales of Women Warriors

by Jessica Robinson, Magin Gregg, Mary Lucas

Roar: True Tales of Women Warriors is a collection of true, personal stories about womanhood. There are stories in this book to which many women will be able to relate. I have been there too. I’m with you, sister. There are stories in this book that are meant to inspire. Strong women, being powerful. There are stories in this book of heartbreak and regret that cry out for change. If only I hadn’t. If only I could’ve. If only I did. Finally, there are stories in this book that are meant to illustrate - for any man or woman who hasn’t been there. These women have.

Whether their story is about taking care of a loved one, being a mother, or leaving an abusive relationship, the 21 women in this book are not being quiet anymore. Neither should you. Keep talking to your friends when “he” does something. And talk to him, too. And them. And everyone. We shouldn’t have to smile and smooth things over. We shouldn’t be quiet. We are women. Let us roar.

Stories collected and edited by Better Said Than Done, a storytelling organization headquartered in Fairfax, VA. Visit us at www.bettersaidthandone.com to learn more.

[Stacy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an extraordinary collection of 21 women's stories like a patchwork quilt. Each square is unique, colorful, and sewn together by a common theme - the challenges and triumphs of being a woman. With a mix of heartbreak, tragedy, strength, and humor, these stories need to be told, read, shared and ultimately lead to worldwide empathy and change. The book would be incredible on its own, but if you purchase the book, you get the added benefit of proceeds going to the National Network to End Domestic Violence. Although some of the stories may make you uncomfortable, we need to be more comfortable with acknowledging and supporting women. WARNING: Rated R content

Compelling. Honest. Brave. These stories are a remarkable collection of women coming forward to discuss what many would leave unspoken. Their strength in triumphing over what life served them is an inspiration to all who read this engaging book!
