[Lisa Kentgen · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a bit of an odd grouping of writers in this compilation. Honestly, I read about half of them. While the writing was from a few years ago, diversity is at the forefront of what we should be thinking about. And these writers are helpful - especially the introduction by Arrien. I also really appreciated the chapters by Wendy Luhabe and Marilyn Hopper and Wendy Appel.
