A unique collection of personal essays. Forty-three stories by forty-three women who are all graduates of St. Theresa’s College, an exclusive girls’ school in the Philippines, once run by Belgian nuns, are contributors to this epic anthology. The stories of the 380-page tome carry one theme – a place, city or country that serves as a portal or gateway that triggers memories of events, epiphanies or victories. Some writers wrote of adventures of love, reconciliation, spiritual rebirth, forgiveness, achievements – even of mountains and birds.
