Reviews

The authors of the pieces collected in this anthology are clad in brilliance … Through their collective vulnerabilities and sensitivities, they seek to guide and welcome us into a community?of bravery and battered hearts.
– Roxanna Bennett, winner of the Trillium Award for Poetry

By sharing their truths in this polished, triumphant collection, [the contributors] prove their moments of darkness don’t define them.
