Author of women's fiction, survivor of assault, advocate for women's empowerment Expert

McCartney Green was born in Philadelphia but spent the majority of her childhood and adult life in Atlanta. She married young and gave birth to seven beautiful children. Like many women, she lost herself under the labels of wife and mother. But she found herself again when she found writing.

 

"The moment I sat down with a pen and a spiral notebook, (because we were too poor to own a computer,) I knew I'd found my passion. When I'm writing I'm happy. When I'm writing I'm fulfilled."

 

McCartney began writing as therapy for herself and shared the stories with her friends. Soon, women and men alike were reading her books and begging for the next one. She has now written six novels. Her knowledge and expertise in several areas lend realism and education to her words. She grew up as the abused and neglected child of alcoholic parents and has been the victim of a sexual assault and so her books, even though fiction, tend to deal with serious women's issues. But they are not "doom and gloom" at all. Here are a few reader's comments.

 

"The way McCartney Green represents women makes the reader want to be a better person. The challenges they overcome are an inspiration to us all."

 

"A friend of mine who was sexually abused as a child read Dandelions Never Die and was moved to tears by how much she related to Shelley and how empowered she felt as she read it. She is now taking martial arts and self defense classes thanks to McCartney Green."

 

"McCartney just about killed me over this one! Four Days is a wonderful story about love and strength. The emotions I felt when I was reading were so real.Everything I read from her stuns me!"

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from McCartney Green
 

This is a statement that usually makes victims angry ...at first...until they let it sit for a bit. "We are only victims if we allow ourselves to be."

 

In this day and age in the United States you wouldn't think women being victims of violence is a predominant problem. It's not up there with poverty, or AIDs or cancer, or war. I myself still find the statistics surprising. Here's just a few...Did you know that...

 

 

* Every 9 seconds a woman is battered in the United States?
* Nearly 1 in 3 women experience domestic violence in their lifetime?
* One in three teenagers report knowing a friend or peer who has been hit, punched, kicked, slapped, choked or physically hurt by their partner?
* The leading cause of death in pregnant women is murder?

 

That last one really gets to me. Maybe because I carried seven children myself. This shouldn't be happening. Not in this day of enlightenment. Fortunately, all this can be turned around. We must acknowledge that it's happening. (An important step). Then we must change our way of thinking so that every person can be a happy, creative, value giver while on this earth.
