Owning our inner strength as women is no small task. Most of us are indoctrinated to play small, stay silent, and go along to get along. Karen's writing in her latest work, The Silent Strut of the Shadow Warrior: My Journey to Inner Strength and Spirit, invites us to turn away from patriarchal oppression and turn toward our inner power, especially when life gets hard. As a sequel to Learning to Respect My Strut: My Journey as a Woman Warrior, this book continues Karen's journey to a place deep within where the true strength resides. Through memoir, the book illustrates the ability of the human spirit within - the Shadow Warrior - to overcome the hard times and learn from them. It is Karen's hope that this book will act as a supporting friend for women who face hardships and difficulties, yet often feel alone in the process. Let this book be your companion and reminder that you are not, in fact, alone.
