For the last three years I have used poetry to tell my story, and every day I get messages from women who have related to my work, and have their own stories, now, I want to tell their stories.
Her Story uses poetry to take readers on a journey into the resilience of real-life women; women who have experienced heartbreak, survived trauma, and have found healing but have not been able to tell their story until now. Starting with ‘Her Heartbreak’, every poem is inspired by a different women’s story. The book finishes with ‘Her Healing’ and the message that we can move on from our pain, forgive ourselves, and learn to love ourselves again.
Her Story is about giving women a voice and telling their stories.
Estimates published by The World Health Organisation indicate that globally about 1 in 3 women have experienced domestic violence, as a survivor of domestic violence myself, I want to do what I can to create awareness. I hope this book will function as both a healing opportunity for the women involved, and readers can also relate to the poems discovering that they are not alone in what they’ve experienced. It is my hope that the ‘Her Healing’ chapter will help women recognise that their relationship is unhealthy and provide them with the strength to leave.
10% of the profits from all books sold goes to the Women's Refuge.
Thank you for supporting this project.
