With the skill of an artist, Cynthia L. Simmons splashes history across the page as
you’ve never seen it before. Through her book, Struggles and Triumphs, Cynthia takes
us on a journey to another time—a time when women were little more than property. You’
ll see the oppression, feel the pain, and suffer the betrayal as nine women from history
face life-changing trials. Will they emerge better or broken? As you’ll see, the answer
depends on their hearts
.
Vonda Skelton
Author of Seeing Through the Lies: Unmasking the Myths Women Believe
In every generation women have struggled with challenges and difficulties. Some give
up; but many have persevered and even turned the tragedies of life and circumstances
into victories of testimony and legacies of faith. The author has selected from different
backgrounds—aristocracy and poverty, varying levels of education, diverse seasons of
life and even contrasting family roles—women who are unique. Yet within the reach of
any reader is a woman with whom she can identify in some way, a sister in the faith who
has experienced similar challenges and suffering. Whether romance, rejection, intrigue,
adventure, traumatic illness or tragic loss—you will find all described in poignant
vignettes that have you spell-bound on the one hand and then inspired and encouraged
on the other! Your historical knowledge will be increased and your spirit edified by
reading these delightful biographical morsels!
