The Value In The Valley

Written especially for black women, this is a guide to dealing successfully with the challenges of everyday life and triumphing over adversity. It is written in a practical style and contains examples that should speak directly to the experiences of black women. Vanzant aims to break through the self-destructive belief that suffering or unhappiness is deserved, and guides readers through what may seem to be insurmountable problems. Vanzant describes the "valley experiences" - the dark moments everyone faces in life - and teaches the skills necessary to move beyond them. From dealing with a job that one hates but needs, to enduring abusive relationships, she seeks to open women's eyes to how their behaviour contributes to "the bad times". With compassion and common sense, she offers to help women out of the valley and into a brighter future where they can shape their own destinies and affirm their self-worth.
