Hopeful Resilience: I made a decisionby J. G. LittlejohnA collection of 65 poems tracing what it takes to keep choosing yourself, one decision at a time. Moving through faith, failure, relapse, relationships, and the slow work of rebuilding, these poems don't dress up the struggle. They sit inside it: the doubt, the double standards, the nights spent just thinking instead of doing, and the mornings that demand starting over anyway.
Written in a voice that's blunt, searching, and often funny in the middle of hard truths, Hopeful Resilience doesn't offer easy answers. It offers proof that a person can fall apart and still choose, again and again, to keep going. For anyone who has had to talk themselves back from the edge of giving up, this is a book that says: you're not the only one still deciding to stay.
