Struggles and Triumphs
Does Christianity impact the lives of women? Does it keep women from being truly free? Struggles and Triumphs is a collection of historical fiction stories about nine prominent women and the struggles they faced. You will meet...
Katie Luther, wife of Martin Luther. She worried about the life of her unborn child. Her husband asked her to care for a beggar who might bring the plague into her home.
Susannah Thompson, later Mrs. C.H. Spurgeon. Susannah wondered if her future husband loved her, or if his ministry kept him too preoccupied.
Princess Alice, daughter of Queen Victoria, who questions her faith as she watches her son battle hemophilia.
Once you've read each story, you will better understand how faith in Christ improves the lives of women. And you'll be encouraged to face life's hardships with the Savior's guidance.

With the skill of an artist, Cynthia L. Simmons splashes history across the page as you've never seen it before. Through her book, Struggles and Triumphs, Cynthia takes us on a journey to another time: a time when
women were little more than property. You'll see the oppression, feel the pain, and suffer the betrayal as nine women from history face life-changing trials. Will they emerge better or broken? As you'll see, the answer depends on their hearts.
