“Leaping Out on Faith” is a collection of short stories about four women at different stages of their lives and the decisions they make.

Depending upon their age, the women choose vastly different paths. Some of those paths are reasonable. Some? Not so much. Yet each story represents a truth for a woman in that moment that rings true emotionally.
