Healing Her Hurt, may sound like something painful but underneath the stories of struggle arise strength, hope, humor and personal triumphs. McLean shines!...as she cleverly mixes the prose of her short stories in with the power of poetic praises, to talented woman who came before her, and those she will inspire to write. Poetic empowerment and tributes to African American woman makes this a wonderful read and a celebration of life and love! It spoke to my soul and heart
