A personal resource for women who have been accused of undue anger offers counsel on how to both allow oneself to experience a healthy range of strong feelings and forgive, drawing on the stories of everyday women as well as the author's own experiences to explain how to use anger as an appropriate catalyst for change and communication without becoming consumed.
