3 Stories About - Women’s Insecurities on Appearances

"There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes.Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.From their pens to your your ears."

Alice Dunbar Nelson, Amy Levy, F Scott Fitzgerald (Author), Darrell Joe, Janet Fullerlove, Laurel Lefkow (Narrator)
