Glass Hearts and Broken Promises

This collection mixes poems and short prose pieces about heartbreak, self-acceptance and strong feeling. The author writes candidly about love that wounds and about the slow work of finding peace again. Her message is that the strength to risk loving again comes from within, and the book offers a companion for readers in the middle of a painful break-up. It is presented as a debut, full of tenderness and honesty, meant to help readers gather the pieces and begin to heal.
