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.

A contemporary American woman's odyssey by a 2009 Eric Hoffer Award 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 as well as an individual level."

"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."

-Sandra Potter, CEO & Founder, Dreamcatchers for Abused Children, http://www.dreamcatchersforabusedchildren.com; co-author, Unnecessary Roughness: Till Death Do Us Part

"Smallwood is a watcher. Her eyes are unblinking. And her ears can detect the mercurial ticks of a heart. Truth thunders in Lily's Odyssey."
