Whispering Down the Well Own Writers O's Own Writers

In Whispering Down the Well, nine contributors share poetry, prose, and stories about the lives of women-both real and imaginary-while profiling each woman's struggles, victories, heartaches, and joy.

O's Own Writers hail from the south Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada, and all have a compelling story to tell about the women in their lives and a related intriguing experience that perhaps has marked them for life, set them apart, turned their life around, opened their eyes to possibilities, or ended their innocence. Through the stories of women like Hope who skated 22 miles home for Christmas; Lill whose leap of faith helped her through challenging times; and Mary who survived countless misfortunes, the writers share a glimpse into epiphany, regret, nostalgic moments, and the grit and determination of each woman profiled.

These tales will never again be just whispered down the well, but instead will be recognized by others as an inspiration to prevail through the hard times and to celebrate all women's contributions to society-no matter how big or small.
