In this intimate collection of poetry, personal essays, and reflections, Kristie L. Farley writes with honesty, faith, humour, grief, and hard-earned wisdom. Through pieces that explore motherhood, family wounds, addiction, abusive relationships, self-worth, spirituality, and survival, Farley gives voice to the moments that shape a life, both painful and powerful. Her work moves between sharp observation, personal testimony, emotional reckoning, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going.
This collection is not about pretending the past was easy. It is about naming what happened, finding meaning in what remains, and reclaiming the voice that life tried to silence. Raw, reflective, and deeply human, Kristie L. Farley's work speaks to anyone who has carried pain, questioned their worth, protected the people they love, and fought to find their shine again.
