La Femme
A Collection of Stories about the Ladies
by Jo-Brew
LA FEMME offers a peak at the "ah ha" moments in the lives of a sampling of women. The moments that change everything that comes after. Those moments that approach slowly and subtly and those that explode without warning. No age, background or lifestyle is insulated but each woman reaches in the depths of her own experiences and character to move forward, alone or with help.
