Women of Courage

About the Book

“Women of Courage”: They Never gave Up, is an inspirational book that tells how three brave women fought back from adversities to live productive lives, and give back to the community.

   Linda Warren suffers from rheumatoid arthritis.  She would not let this disease, or years of rejection of her first book, keep her from becoming an award winning author.  Her novels entertain and help readers by relating to concerns in their own lives.

   Teresa Maurer has multiple sclerosis, but lives a full life.  She is a successful Beatrix Potter Storyteller and literacy advocate encouraging hundreds of children to read each year.  Her performances draw school children from all over Texas.  Their smiles as she relates a Potter story are rewards she cherishes.

   Marsy Clarke is a crusader for the physically and mentally challenged citizens in Texas.  For more than a decade, Marsy has helped implement programs that find jobs and housing for those in need.  Her desire to become a crusader was kindled by her son, Andrew, who was born with disabilities.

  Travel with them through their lives.  Feel their despair and triumphs as God leads them to reach higher planes.
