Home Within

by Fida Islaih

Home Within is a powerful and intimate collection of poetry by Fida Islaih, weaving together themes of healing, self-discovery, chronic illness, cultural identity, and emotional resilience. With raw vulnerability and lyrical grace, Islaih explores the layered experiences of living with invisible pain—both physical and emotional—while navigating complex relationships with faith, femininity, and belonging.

Spanning topics from the inner battles of self-worth and mental health to the gentle triumphs of self-love and spiritual awakening, each poem offers a fragment of the author’s journey back to herself. Through reflections on grief, nostalgia, trauma, and hope, Islaih invites readers into a sacred space where language becomes a form of liberation and healing.

This collection is a compassionate offering for anyone learning to find home within themselves—one tender, honest, and empowering line at a time.
