This is about a group of woman.  Five.  Hence the title.  Clever, that.

They all had a story, disturbances, childhood memories, pasts.  It was meant to be a story, I think maybe inspiring, of survival.

But really,  if you wanted to, you could call everyone a survivor.  Everyone has been through something.  Everyone has a past, a story, something traumatic.  

So, all though I didn’t glean anything life changing or inspirational from this book, other than the fact that you get on with it, it was still all right.
