Obscurity: Helping the Hurting Woman and Those Who Love Her

The stories that women can tell of their challenges, struggles, and life-journeys are many and varied. Throughout her experience-filled life, L. Mildred Adderley has encountered countless women who have shared their personal stories with her. Within so many, lie unspoken hurts, buried pain, unfulfilled dreams, and unvoiced cries for help.

In OBSCURITY: Helping the Hurting Woman and Those Who Love Her, real life scenarios are presented, providing glimpses of the physical, mental, and emotional challenges women experience. In addition to reminding women that they are not alone, suggestions are given for those who seek to help. This book will provide insight into the inner turmoil that perhaps cannot be voiced, and aid spouses, children, friends, colleagues, and other acquaintances with practical ways they can help those special women in their lives navigate periods of abuse, illnesses, bereavement, unemployment, childlessness, and other struggles.

L. Mildred Adderley (M.Ed.) has worn many hats in her lifetime. A wife, and mother of three adult sons and one daughter-in-law, she worked in the financial and educational arenas for more than thirty-five years before launching out as an entrepreneur. She has always been passionate about working with young people and women and has served on several committees which directly impacted both. She is the founder of Sparkles of Sapphire, a Christian ministry for teenage girls. An avid lover of sports, she has served as a track coach and a member of the Management Team for several national track and field teams of the Bahamas. Integrity is highly valued, and it is her purpose that each person she encounters sees Christ in her. To many, she has been a counsellor, mother-figure, advisor, confidant, and friend. This book is the realization of a long-held dream.
