Talitha cumi; Get Up Girl, is an outstanding book filled with stories of hope and healing. Its absolutely phenomenal. The ten authors in this book, Andrea L. Dudley, Linda Jones, Daphne Johnson, Linda Hillman, Valerie M. Robinson, Barbara J. McClain, Vickie Burns, Marcia Mathis, Kisha Emanuel Durrell and T.R.B. open their hearts and lives to share with us their triumphs, tragedies and testimonies. I applaud each of them for their courage, bravery and willingness to let us peek inside of their worlds.

As you thumb through these pages I am sure that you will be able to relate to many of the stories.
