Readers of Any Age Can Find a Bit of Themselves in The Lioness, Published by Outskirts Press

Wilmington, NC, September 06, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Author Crystal Smith announced today the release of her first children’s book, The Lioness, published by Outskirts Press. Children of any age will gain a new appreciation for the sacrifices and sweat that mothers must undergo -- be they lions or two legged “animals” -- during the challenges of raising their young.

Uhnita, the lioness, has never had it easy. Raised by a stern father, challenged by the trials and tribulations of raising three cubs, she now pauses to reflect on her life. In a jungle where food is more scarce than ever, she is concerned about the uncertain future that her beloved children, Wustoon, Jesika and Yay-yamie, face.

What has she done right? What wrong? How else could she have raised her young?

Following along the path of Uhnita’s reflections, readers see that this courageous lioness has a sharp intelligence and maternal savvy that have prompted her to act on what really matters in life and that her instincts for her offspring are the same as the reader’s, as well. Both think a lot about their families. Both have feelings. Both laugh. Both love.

The Lioness is a moving, tender account of the bonds formed between any mother and child. Even when faced with a dwindling food supply – thanks in part to the activities of the ever more present two legged “animals” – the young can still choose a positive outlook that itself prompts a confident independence and helps them overcome many of the twists and turns they will, like their mothers, have to face in life.

The Lioness is available on-line in paperback through Amazon and Barnes and Noble and at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore for a maximum trade discount in quantities of ten or more.
