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!
