dc.description.abstract	Women I Have Known is a collection of intimate portraits of six dissimilar women. Although they have distinctive life experiences, they are alike in the fears they face and the joys they seek. Some speak more passionately than others, but each has a story to tell and each of those stories has affected the author. Each of the six chapters features one of the women. Some tell their whole life stories—including one cut dramatically short—and others focus on select, defining periods of their lives. Aesthetically, these portraits are revealed through: scene and dialogue; anecdotes; conflict; affirmation and negation; and the author’s personal reflections on the women’s influences. Through interviews, research, and memory, each subject is presented true to her essence. Collectively, the pieces explore several themes: motherhood; the struggle between darkness and light; and the fear of loss, specifically the loss of a child. For two, their greatest fear is realized.	en_US
