Rising From the Ashes

About the Book
Rising From the Ashes has come into being after years of a soul-searching journey from childhood abuse. Through the vivid imagery of poetry it gives affirmation to the wonderful healing process, especially when the process allows the Spirit to work hand in hand with one’s own difficult emotional work. The book links the spiritual journey with seasons of the year to illustrate how the process goes through cycles until, eventually, one day you wake up to the realization that rebirth really does happen and life is truly a gift.
