Freedom Warrior Gwen Van Velsor

At its core, Freedom Warrior is a collection of stories or snapshots from childhood to motherhood that explore the author's attempts at discovering freedom in situations when she felt trapped. Some of these snapshots explore why the need for freedom became her very heartbeat, some describe why she felt tied down, and some attempt to shed light on what she has learned in the process. These stories are told in nonlinear memories and reflections, some from the past and some out there in dreamland. All of these stories are meant to strip bare the desperate need to cut all ties and examine what's left, to find some reason why she needed to feel free over everything else.
