This book is a book of poetry unlike any other. In this biographical account, a young girl is forced to be a woman before her time... and then abandoned. Growing up damaged, she makes poor choices, surrounds herself with the wrong kinds of people, and struggles with depression, addiction, and self-harming tendencies. However, this isn't a sob story; nor is it a fairy-tale. You won't find your rom-com fix in these pages. No, this story is about overcoming the most ornery of obstacles: ourselves. It's about relentless grief and terrifying strength. It's about digging down deep and dragging yourself forward, second by second, inch by inch. It's about defeating the demons which secretly (and not so secretly) plague us. Moving away from the youthful, cryptic style seen in her first book, Lacey Culbreth proves her growth in this bold sequel as she dives into daring detail and outlines personal horrors in this extremely intimate, awe-inspiring tale of the infamous underdog.
