guides the other through an overwhelming obstacle or difficulty,
therefore demonstrating the true power of female friendship.
PRAISE FOR GIRL POWER
Teresa Madaleno’s chronicles of female friendships are so
compelling that parts will, no doubt, resonate within our own lives.
The breadth and depth of each pair of friend’s life tribulations are
measured in equal amounts by the unbelievable amount of love and
humanity they offer each other in support and truly astonishing acts
of selflessness! What a shining example of Girl Power. These
stories will radiate off the pages and into your heart!

The essence of Girl Power comes through loud and clear in
each touching friendship that the author introduces. The patience
and endurance of ordinary women are tested and sometimes
friendships are tested too, but we discover in the long run that
taking the time to invest in friends is well worth it. As you follow
the women in these chronicles through their trials and triumphs, you
can’t help but think of your own friends; the ones who have been in
your life every-step-of-the-way and the ones you wished you worked
harder to keep by your side.
At times you are led to believe that these women are all
alone; abandoned to deal aimlessly with life’s cruel hurdles then
suddenly that special friend comes to the rescue, reminding us that
true friends do exist. In a colourful and narrative fashion, the
author teaches us that friends really can be a true inspiration to
each other.

The theme of woman as enabler is a familiar one within
the context of family, but the author travels farther afield in her
exploration of women and their relationships with other womenfriends,
not family. Through describing critical events in the lives of
seven dyads of women within the context of crises, and underscores
the concept of strong female friendships in each story.
The narratives capture the readers’ interest and the stories
demand the turning of pages. They flow as a river of words.
A terrific psychological narrative!
