In January 2002, Houston saw a story about a woman from African that moved her in a special way. The program "Nightline." They were doing a weeklong series about the plight of the people in the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa.
Plain and simple her story is about violence against women. And, unfortunately "we, the world, tolerates violence again women," says Houston. The more Houston thought about her the angrier she got. She then sat in her chair and just cried.
Houston began to ask friends to write letters about their own personal struggles, letters about how they had overcome their challenges. She envision the book to be a book of "testimonies."
Houston's hope is that the book of letters would serve as an inspiration to other women who read it.
