Lessons: Shattered Pieces Being Restored is the second book that I am reading compiled by LaDonna Marie. I really admire LaDonna’s true passion and love for writing such a beautiful and motivating book. This book is a collection of poems that teaches lessons of growth and transformations. I am so astonished with this collection that I recited one line by line of the poems many times and I thought this is the best way to reach those people who need empowerment. The main motive of this book is towards woman empowerment. But after reading I realized this book is not only for women but also for men. It has all the essentials and the pieces of secrets that are helpful for both men and women as well.

The language is simple and easy to understand for a wide range of readers. I loved the narration of the author. I could feel her feelings through the words and hear the emotion in her voice. The poems are brief, yet each resonated with me in a significant way, and I was left breathless by the strength and profundity that is packed into each carefully chosen word. This book is a short read but at the same time, it produced an impactful punch to the gut. I would honestly rate this book with 5 out of 5 stars, and this is another wondrous work by LaDonna. I would recommend this book to a broad range of readers from young adults to adults irrespective of gender. I am certain this is a voice that will continue to inspire the readers for any further challenges that exist in this world.
