The Sacred Purse is a literary celebration
about the perfection of women – and the
perfection of each woman.  Written by, for and
about women, this book is a collaborative
literary fusion of short stories, poetry, streams of
consciousness, and prose.  A look inward, the
literary pieces focus on the many “faces” of a
woman: daughter, mother, partner, artist,
survivor, provider and friend.  What began as an
outlet for our creative expression has been
transformed into an inspirational collection that
covers the emotional gamut: humorous, deeply
moving, tearful, meditative and a strong, casual
connectedness to female readers seeking
inspiration.

We are teachers, mothers, journalists,
managers, librarians, bankers and friends.  As
alike and different as we are, we came together
over the course of a year to share and write The
Sacred Purse.  

We invite you into the moments of our world --
our laughter, our struggles, our tears, our
strengths... our hearts.

 We welcome you!
