This is a collection of seven short stories for females of all ages. From our teen years to post-menopause, we have stories to tell that touch others. I aim to show God's love and to perhaps help someone work through some of life's trials. Made in God's image, we are both strong and tender and made to walk personally with Him as we live our lives. Let me introduce you to these amazing characters.

 Now I See is about a young go-getter, Myka Woods, who always gets what she sets her sights on. But when her life changes on a dime, what will Myka do to survive? This dark season can make or break her, but only she can decide.

 In Worry (First Line of No Defense) Sandy Shackelford, who has dedicated her life to ministry, is suddenly faced with the temptation to entertain a new companion. Everywhere she goes, there he is. Will Sandy give in to his relentlessness or use the weapons God provided to stay on track?

 Seventeen-year-old Becky Howard in The Chain that Binds has begun leaning to her own understanding. Plunged into a world of dark chaos, Becky fights to make her way back to the one place she most wanted to escape.

 In Here I Come, you meet a six-year-old, coming to know Jesus. With humor, I show how when the call goes out, even the youngest ears may hear and answer the call.

 Tearing Down Walls gives us a peek into the life of Marla Brewster, who is in yet another tug-of-war with her dominating older sister. In this struggle Marla sees what has been right in front of her all along. But is she willing to embrace the truth or continue on the road to utter futility?

 One True Master takes us back in time where Maddie Smith, an ex-slave, reflects on her life. Whether the 21st century or hundreds of years ago, until we find contentment in Christ Jesus, we are all slaves to something. Yet, regardless of our trappings, we can find freedom in God.

 Has the door of your heart ever been closed tight? In Open The Door, we meet Mary McGinnis grasping at the remains of her life. Shame and regret nip at her like fire ants. Somehow, Mary has to find a way to cope with whatever lies ahead. Will she let others help or risk going it alone?
