Accompanying these are poems about a journey: through seasons, islands, storms, and oceans.
In this collection we find poems about depression, loneliness, addiction, love, heartache, trauma, and healing.
Written in three parts ("the storm", "the sea" and "the winter"), this book\'s poetry is evidence of a young woman\'s internal battle.
