Feisty Women Spanning Six Centuries
|
Even when time periods and geographical locations vary greatly, women’s struggles as they confront
adversity are often remarkably universal. The twenty-three stories in this collection follow ordinary women from the 1470s to the 1960s as they rise to meet life’s challenges. An unhappy housewife in 1950s California gathers the strength to escape an abusive marriage. When the local men are shipped off to fight in WWI, a young Yorkshire woman joins others to keep a munitions factory at peak operation. As her land and way of life are threatened, a nineteenth century Chickasaw wife and mother digs deep within to rekindle the strength of her ancestors. A midwife strives to protect mothers from accusations of witchcraft. A nineteenth century English portrait artist possesses a rare, sought after talent that dispatches unwanted relatives. Foreign invasions, the outbreak of war, rigid domestic authority, strictures of society and religion, the supernatural, love and family bonds all serve as catalysts for the feisty deeds of the women in these tales.

About Teri M Brown
|
Teri M. Brown is an award-winning American novelist, inspirational speaker, and podcast host dedicated to exploring the raw, unfiltered corners of the human experience. With a professional background rooted in business content writing and self-help publishing, she successfully transitioned into commercial fiction after winning the Anita Bloom Ornoff Award for Inspirational Short Story in 2017. Since then, her deeply empathetic, character-driven narratives have earned dozens of prestigious literary awards, establishing her as a powerful voice in contemporary and historical storytelling.
Known for her trademark ability to construct relatable, beautifully flawed characters, Brown focuses her narratives on universal themes of resilience, generational family conflict, and personal reinvention. Beyond the page, she is an avid adventurer who famously completed a 3,102-mile tandem bicycle trek across the United States to raise funds for charity—an experience that continues to fuel her creative philosophies on grit and marital teamwork. As the host of the Online for Authors podcast, she actively mentors aspiring writers, speaks at national literary events, and delivers motivational talks on overcoming midlife challenges and creative breakthroughs. When she isn’t writing or touring, Brown, who now lives at the NC coast, can be found traveling, mentoring within writer communities, playing word games, bumming on the beach, singing in the shower, hunting for bargains, or playing bridge. She continues to connect deeply with an expansive global audience by writing authentic, accessible prose that challenges readers to embrace both the humor and the hardships of life. |
