Sian West is my new pen name, for a powerful new direction in non fiction, focusing on real, unfiltered women’s stories.
About Strength and Survival: Women’s stories
Strength and Survival Women’s Stories is a raw, heart centred collection detailing the lived experiences women navigate every single day. The contributors generously share their real life journeys through:
Life and Loss: Bereavement, child loss, illness, disability and dementia.
Health and Identity: Infertility, perimenopause, rare disease, Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and neurodiversity.
Relationships and Adversity: Divorce, bullying, relationship betrayal, poverty, addiction, and overcoming trauma and abuse.
Sian’s core mission in compiling this book was clear; “to do something for others to help cancel out their worst fears that they are the only ones having to struggle”.
Supporting Women Worldwide
The courageous women in these pages have shared their journeys to encourage, inspire and reassure readers that they are not alone.
To honour their stories all profits from the book are being donated to two women led charities: Educare Fund and The Adjvir Singh Sandhu Leadership Foundation.
This isn’t just a must read for anyone who supports women - it is the book to gift a friend who is going through a hard time, and the book to buy yourself as a reminder of your resilience.
