Written by a talented and diverse group of South African women, this collection conveys love in its various forms: romantic love, love of family, love of friends, and love of community--all of which have the power to transform, like revolution, in ways never imagined. Candid and touching, it bares the personal accounts of abuse and survival experienced by the contributors through poetry, short stories, and essays. As it celebrates creative writing as a healing tool, this record gives the women of South Africa a voice.
