Re-story details the author's journey through and beyond emotional abuse, from the initial highs of love, through the darkest moments, and ultimately unfolding into the joy of healing. One of the most challenging hallmarks of trauma is silence, but courage can be built by speaking one's truth, sharing the stories of common experience, and being heard.
This curated selection of poems is a roadmap through the darkness into the hope that is waiting beyond, and will empower readers to press on through a difficult chapter when a better day might be hard to envision. The celebration at the end of the journey will leave readers cheering and grateful that we are all connected.
