This is a book of perspective from a wide variety of women with lives different one from another. They have contributed in multifaceted ways in home or church or public life. They have invested themselves in others. And they have survived -- even flourished under -- unusual tests in life. They have found who they are and what is important, what works in life and what doesn't, what principles are vital, and they have prepared their perspectives especially for this publication. Elaine Cannon suggests that when a woman finally finds herself and her point of no return, when she takes a stand from which she cannot be swayed, when she lives by what she has come to think as the way of wisdom, then she is rapidly becoming what she is going to be for all eternity.
