Women of Substance

Women of Substance is the tale of a young Muslim girl who leaves her safe and sheltered home in East Africa, and travels to the rugged coast of Newfoundland. She has no way of knowing what lies in store, and continuously struggles for acceptance.

Her travels continue when she leaves St. John's and moves to Toronto. Having fought so hard to adapt once, she then goes through the process again as she marries, and then divorces.

However, her real journey begins as she struggles to come to terms with life as a single mother, and as a woman who must become--at last--self-reliant.

Learn how five incredible women helped her open her mind, and her heart. See through her eyes the wonderment; feel through her emotions the strength of these extraordinary women.

Walk with her through these pages, and you too will believe that any journey, no matter how great or small, is only made worthwhile by the people who choose to share it with you.
