\"TheRecently, I read an article by One Love Foundation titled, 5 Requirements for a Strong Friendship.<\/p>\n

The first was \u201ctrust.\u201d I had to agree wholeheartedly.
\nThe six friends in my Risking Love series had that in spades. They have kept personal secrets for each other that one normally wouldn\u2019t utter outside one\u2019s family. From alcoholism to abuse. Being stalked or loving someone that belongs to another. And so much more.<\/p>\n

The second was \u201cequality.\u201d While each of the friends in my stories are intelligent, kind women with strong personalities, they treat each other with respect. No one person in the group dominates the rest of the women. They may ask advice of each other, but no one ever demands that they should do it a certain way, their way.<\/p>\n

The third was \u201ccompassion.\u201d It doesn\u2019t matter which one of the six friends they go to for help they are received with open arms. Sometimes they talk things out as a group and other times they seek the love and advice from just one of their friends. They have cried, laughed, and genuinely cared for each other\u2019s precious hearts together.<\/p>\n

The fourth was \u201chonesty.\u201d Sometimes honesty hurts, like what happens between Bella and Violet in the novel, Joseph. Or when one of them gets pregnant and the only one they can tell is their friend. The women of the Risking Love series have remained close even when honesty tugs at their friendship.<\/p>\n

The fifth was \u201cIndependence.\u201d Each of the Risking Love women is independent. They lean on each other, but they have other friends or family important to them too. Like when Violet was given a surprise party, and the room was full of friends that the girls were meeting for the first time. Or when Carlie got married, and the hall had an overflowing number of friends and family. It was important to me to keep these women\u2019s independence of each other. They have a healthy and loving relationship with each other. But they also have a separate life that includes other friends and family.<\/p>\n

These six women have a strong foundation of trust, equality, compassion, honesty, and independence with each other. Their friendship is healthy and should stand the test of time.<\/p>\n
