With Letters to My Sisters: Pain, Poise, Pride, and God's Promise, a group of 10 African-American women have written letters from their hearts that expose intimate life details that all women will be able to relate to in some way. As readers engage this material, the hope is that the sharing of these experiences provides a gateway for other women to do the same. No longer should women keep their herstory private. As women increasingly share with one another, they create a pattern that rewrites a tragic history of silence.
 
To reveal censored areas of their own womanhood, black female authors of diverse backgrounds confronted their deepest pains to release burdens they have held for far too long. With these letters, women commit to saying what they mean to say and healing in formally forbidden areas of life. The intent is that this grand release encourages all of our sisters to share and release as well.
 
Because this book sheds light on incidents that women have been silent about for a lifetime, the words of these pages create a foundation for ladies to embrace womanhood in new ways. These letters have been written from the heart. As such, they are meant to prick a woman's heart in ways that draw ladies to one another as they draw closer to themselves.
 
The mind-body-soul alignment offered within Letters to My Sisters discloses the hidden tragedies and triumphs of womanhood. Though the authors may never share the depths of their souls with the sisters who impacted them directly, releasing these heartfelt stories allows women all over the world to embrace their own impacts and begin living more fully.
 
As you read, you are encouraged to also write. Don't miss this opportunity to share your own letters. If you're up to it, send those letters to the sisters who deserve to hear your heart. God bless you.
