concrete girl

This poetry book is a raw and unfiltered memoir about love and heartbreak-the kind that shapes you and shatters you. It's about first loves and lost loves, about the way girls are taught to shrink themselves for affection and the journey of unlearning that. It delves into grief, the loss of a sibling and the quiet ways absence rewrites you. It is about a childhood marked by hardship, by domestic violence, by wounds that take years to name. And yet, at its core, this book is about survival. It is about finding the strength to keep loving, to keep hoping, and to turn even the deepest sadness into something resembling joy.
