Blossoming Heart

by Fida Islaih

"Paper thin skin
easily bruised
but she remains
gentle with everything
for God loves
those who are gentle." Blossoming Heart is a compilation of poems about conquering your fear and forgiving yourself. Learn about yourself and love yourself in your journey. Find stillness in your life. Let your brokenness find hope and peace. Through faith, you will heal.

Islaih writes from the heart and it's always a treat to read her poetry collections. These poems are introspective and inspirational.

Disjointed. Haven't felt anything when reading the poems.

Short and sweet collection of poetry from a champion of the poetry community! I chose to read this one of hers, since I knew I wouldn't really get into her "6 word poems" poetry book. I always need more - never have been a huge fan of "one liner" poetry. This collection has heart and is full of self love affirmations!

I love this book by Fida. I recommend this book for those who seek encouragement. I go back to this book from time to time
to feel uplifted.

This book struck every fiber in my heart. Experiences that I feel we both faced when comes to betrayal and trying to seek beauty within ourselves. Her words are true and pure. Thank you for my signed copy! True treasure
