I'm not a crier. Not that I'm opposed to it, far from it, I believe it healthy that one should express themselves, be that expression through laughter or tears. It's just not my natural inclination. But this book... this book brought saltwater to my eyes. My heart broke as I read this young woman's journey expressed so poignantly with her haunting poetry. But through it all I got the sense of the author's strong spirit, and her beautiful soul.What amazing poetry! So honest, so well-woven, so brilliantly written, and so stark. All a sign of a master craftsman with the pen. As a mother I recommend this to every parent out there, to remind them just how much our little ones look up to us and how important our deeds and words are to them.This is a book everyone should own.
