"Duerk's best-selling Circle of Stones asked women the question: "How might your life have been different if, through every stage of your life . . . you had been received, affirmed, sustained by a 'circle' of older, wiser women?" In celebration of the book's 10th anniversary, Duerk invited readers to share the stories of how affirming, sustaining women made a difference in their lives. This is her selection of responses from 65 women in eight countries that best represent the depth and beauty of a woman's journey. With 10 photographs & illustrations."
