I AM WOMAN, I AM INVINCIBLE
Sequel to I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR
Volume 2
In the gripping sequel to "I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar!" we delve even deeper into the enigmatic worlds of the Lincoln Assassination Series' "MARY ELIZABETH SURRATT" and the Faith Chronicles Series', "FAITH – SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN." As the pen traces the pages of these two compelling sagas, mysteries that once lay veiled in shadows shall be unveiled, and questions that have tugged at the fringes of history will finally find their answers.
In the heart of this continuation, four radiant young women emerge as the pulsating heartbeats of our tale, christened the "Four Musketeers" for their unbreakable bond, forged before the tempest of Civil War darkened the horizon. Their story, a symphony of love and sacrifice, unfolds after their commencement from Hampton Women's College, when they exchanged their hopes for a life bound by the chains of matrimony – a fate dictated by the era's laws.
Through the eyes of Frances "Fran" Meyer, Jackie 'Bonzo' Hager, Debbie "Deb" Keiner, and the enigmatic Dianne Jenkins, we bear witness to love's intricate dance, a waltz with fate that sweeps them off their feet, only to expose the treasonous hearts of the men they held dear. As the plot unfolds, we delve into the intricacies of their lives, painted against the backdrop of a nation torn asunder.
Frances Meyer, torn by loyalty, marches alongside her husband who raises the Confederate banner. Jackie 'Bonzo' Hager, thrust into the chaos, seeks an escape from the battlefield through an unconventional path, her resolve and courage becoming her guiding stars. Debbie Keiner, an embodiment of compassion, takes up the mantle of a Sister of Mercy, tending to the wounded and dying from both sides of the conflict. And Dianne Jenkins, harboring secrets as fierce as her distrust for men, stands as a powerful embodiment of resilience.
As daylight filters through raindrops, so does love permeate the souls of these valiant women, birthing passions that align with the currents of State's Rights and Women's Rights. In the crucible of their experiences, they unravel the truths that define their existence, and in doing so, offer themselves to a world torn by conflict. The overarching melody they discover is one of love, the force that sculpts their identities, and the resilience of forgiveness, which proves mightier than the mightiest sword.
In the 1860s, the rights of women were penned within the walls of marital vows. A woman's autonomy dissolved as she spoke the words "I do," plunging her into a state akin to "Civil Death." Restricted to the domestic realm, they were mere caretakers of hearth and home, destined to bear children until their bodies yielded.
As one of the era's voices aptly echoes, "Women are already born so far ahead ability-wise. The day men can give birth, that's when we can start talking about equal rights!" – the words of Chuck Palahniuk, an American Novelist, reverberate through time, intertwining with the story of these women who battled the confines of history to reshape their destinies.
With each page, Sidney St. James pens a symphony of courage and passion, weaving together the threads of history and imagination into a tapestry that captures the essence of a generation. In this spellbinding tale of empowerment, love, and the indomitable spirit of the "Four Musketeers," readers are invited to bear witness to a world of whispers and thunderclaps, where the strength of women transcends the ages.
