The Missing Peace
When we lose our mothers, we often mourn two the relationship we had and the one we didn’t. Cynthia Anderson attempts to reconcile these losses in The Missing Peace . Weaving a narrative of masterful short-form vignettes—cherita, tanka, and haiku—she shares a poignant journey.
—Peter Jastermsky, Author of Steel Cut Moon and The Silence They Came For
What is missing from memory has always been the flesh and bones of what could have been. There is never any peace in the void of loss. Cynthia Anderson braves the elements of regret by presenting us with a book about how to be brave and truthful in the face of loss.

I can relate to this honest, raw, and daring poetry book. The Missing Peace can heal and transform all who read it and bring to light that not everybody had an unconditionally loving mother, like we want to believe. Read it and become enlightened.
