This brutally honest poemoir by award-winning writer, Kelly Watt, tells the herstory of a trauma, as it echoes throughout the author's life, slowly transforming through time from a wound to a gift. Along the way, Watt turns to astrology, Buddhism, and the women's movement to make sense of her tragic experiences. Divided into three sections: The Home for Little Girls, The Buddha and The Pink Futon,  and Hands Across the World, this narrative travels the globe, starting in the silent shadows of foster care in a bleak Canadian suburb, and emerging into the light and sound of Sanskrit chanting in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Nepal. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner of multiple awards-the Wishing Shelf Book Awards, and the Independent Press Award--this is a thoughtful and moving collection that reads like a love letter for the silenced and despairing. It will take you on a wild ride, to a place where poetry is an alchemical art; an exploration of the deepest self where your sorrows are transmuted through creativity to self-empowerment and joy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake the journey.
