From the back cover: "This unique collection includes over fifty
articles by American women who revisit, celebrate, and share defining
moments in their lives. Readers will see the universal in milestones
of body, mind, family, career, and personal empowerment-whether
joyous or difficult, chosen or unexpected, common or rare. These are
poignant passages of women, told by talented and award winning
writers: intimate glimpses into the lives of our sisters, friends,
aunts, mentors, wives, grandmothers, partners, mothers,
daughters-ourselves."
"Even though this collection is about contemporary 'American' women
the stories are universal. As I read each, I can see myself in them."
--Supriya Bhatnagar, Director of Publications at the Association of
Writers & Writing Programs, editor of The Writer's Chronicle.

Best New Writing Prose short listed writer. The psychological
detective novel covers religion, marriage, family--and the largely
unacknowledged. Judith Lewis Herman, M.D. observed in: Trauma and
Recovery: "Denial, repression, and dissociation operate on a social

"Smallwood is an incredibly gifted author with a broad range of
experience. She demonstrates commitment to conscience in her work
through Michigan Feminist Studies, The Yale Journal for Humanities in
Medicine, and Best New Writing 2009."

Odyssey."
