Our lives are shaped by the women we come in contact with throughout our lives. These women can be our mothers, aunts, grandmothers, sisters, friends or co-workers. Many women are wounded by the ugly, shallow conflicts that burst forth from other women who've let their own insecurities rule their behavior. Unfortunately, once pain is inflicted, sometimes grudges, mistrust and unforgiveness reign too long, not allowing for the chance for deeper connections. When Women Connect strives to highlight and encourage women to reach for deeper connections in their lives. In Part One, the co-authors share stories of extraordinary connections that led to unlikely friendships and unforgettable mentors. For women who are seeking ways to make better connections, co-authors from Part Two offer advice that can transcend any place, whether it be home, church, or work.
