Description

Connie Many Stories is a searing, moving, magically lyrical, feminist novel, which breaks new ground for women facing the recognition of the double-sided sword of their own power and the decisions they must make in adulthood. Murphy's tale of self-confrontation and healing will make you cry and make you understand.
