Yes! Sian West is my new pen name, for a fantastic new genre - non fiction women’s stories

Strength and Survival: Women’s stories is a powerful collection sharing the things women live through: including bereavement, loss, ill health, disability, infertility, addiction, overdose, poverty, child loss, parenting, work issues, career change, dementia, homelessness, divorce, bullying, arranged marriage, relationship betrayal, perimenopause, prostitution, weight issues, anxiety, child marriage, rare disease, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, relocation, identity issues, neurodiversity, physical, emotional, financial and sexual abuse.     

Sian’s mission behind writing the book was to “do something for others to help cancel out their worst fears that they are the only ones having to struggle”.

The women in these pages have generously shared their stories not just to help encourage and inspire other people. The profits from the book are being donated to two charities, set up and operated by women: Educare Fund and The Adjvir Singh Sandhu Leadership Foundation.

This isn’t just a must read for women who support women, it is the book to give your friend who is struggling and needs to know that they are not alone. It’s the book to buy yourself to remind you of who you really are.
