These poems written over roughly 11 years describe an intense journey through trauma and abuses. The writer found strength while left to deal with the emotional damage alone after being treated like an outcast, when she finally voiced the truth about her abuser.

These poems capture a journey to hope breaking open. “Do not hide from your breaks or aches or wounds. Do not let them be drowned in silence. Give them voices, so that you can have a voice too.”

Recommended to all seeking meaning in misery, authenticity, courage and soul, in a broken world.
