Challenges like infertility, mental health, chronic illness, cultural adaptation, sibling suicide, raising a special needs child, and other real-life difficulties face mothers (and parents) all over the world. And yet, good luck looking for a resource, a compendium (if you will), that addresses such issues in a straightforward, non-biased manner by the "Mainstream Media" - especially when it comes to sharing stories about members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was this reality that led eight, uniquely diverse Latter-day Saint strangers to accept "the call" from Cedar Fort Publishing & Media to write their own stories as "wives of faith," tales that laid bare their very real struggles (and successes) in facing challenges that millions of other wives, mothers, and women have faced as well.
