This collection pulled at my heart strings. Often times we complain about our situations, forgetting that someone has it worse. I couldn’t imagine the depths of pain, struggle, abuse, turmoil and tribulations this author went through but I have a newfound respect. my heart goes out to you! I admire the bravery to tell such a vivid story and reveal and recall times of much turmoil and tragedy. There is sunshine after the rain, life after storms and healing after the pain. God has a purpose and calling on this authors life and that’s why he brought her through ever valley and over every mountain. Never judge a book by its cover. Great read. I enjoyed the entire collection but I did have a few faves like Listen, Amina, Black Man, Savoring Love, Battered, Trapped, Midnight Blues and the list goes on. I highly recommend!
Fantastic book of beautiful words. Can’t wait to read more. This author just gained a new reader. Poetry is my heart and this author spoke to every single inch of mine. Bring on the next book.
