Publisher's Synopsis
Life is a story written in scars and survival, in whispered fears and unshaken resilience. This collection of poems is the map of a journey-one that began in the shadows of childhood, where love was absent, and worth was questioned. It tells of a child unseen, unheard, never quite enough.
As the years passed, childhood gave way to adolescence, but the pain did not fade-it evolved. Abuse wore different faces, left deeper wounds. And yet, within those darkest moments, strength quietly grew. Then came the unexpected: pregnancy at twenty, followed by loss so profound it threatened to consume what was left of an already fractured soul. He had changed. No longer the man who inflicted pain, he had become someone different-someone loved. And still, he was taken away. From the quiet agony of watching death claim what could have been, to the chaos and beauty of bringing new life into the world, these poems walk the path from sorrow to survival. The journey does not end there. The road from single motherhood to adulthood was winding, filled with battles fought in silence, choices made in desperation, and lessons learned through struggle. But this is not just a story of pain. It is a testament to perseverance, to transformation, to hope. Because eventually, the road led to a place of peace. A new home. A new chapter. A life filled with love, laughter, and the quiet joy of knowing that after everything, happiness is not just possible-it is real. These poems are for the broken, the healing, and those who have walked a path of hardship and found their way to the light. May you see yourself in these words and know: you are not alone.
