This is a collection of poems that address trauma. Not just experiencing it but acknowledging that it can happen to anyone, speaking up when we see others who are struggling, embracing our inner strength, and helping others find theirs.

The author challenges readers to really examine their feelings, to abandon the default "I'm good" and really answer the question of How Are You?? What are you feeling?

This was a peaceful, inspiring read. My only issue was how heavily the author focused on putting your faith and trust into God and using both to find your personal strength. With that said the forward was very clear that the author wrote this book after she did just that. My disinterest in that aspect is subjective and in no way takes away from all the inspiration and love poured into this collection.

I would highly recommend this, even to those who aren't religious.
