Strength and Survival: Women's Stories
Written under my Sian West pen name Strength and Survival: Women’s stories is a powerful collection of stories of the things women live through, from abusive relationships, redundancy and debt, homelessness, bullying, addiction, lack of confidence, loss of identity, infertility, child loss and mental health issues. 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 to help encourage and inspire other people, and profits from the book are being donated to two charities, set up and operated by women within the book: Educare Fund and The Adjvir Singh Sandhu Leadership Foundation.
