To anyone who grew up on the raw edges of life, who wrestled with heartbreak, who battled systems designed to break your spirit, take heart. These poems trace a journey from childhood wonder through the harshness of the world and into a hope found in faith. Leaning on God's promises, we learn that brokenness does not have the final say. May these words remind you that every wound can become a window where Light shines through. Keep turning the page; a new day is always just over the horizon.
