From the Ashes

From The Ashes is a book of poetry and prose, which depicts that, like a phoenix, we all go through stages in life. Separated into five chapters, Christie L Starkweather uses her poetry to walk through the journeys of fear and loneliness, sorrow, madness, finding peace, and a resurrection of strength and hope. Each chapter represents the different emotions we feel as we struggle through the darkness and into the light. Packed with over 250 pieces, ranging from dark poetry to motivational and inspirational poetry, this book is sure to remind us all that our darkness is not what define us, but rather our strength to continue rising from the ashes.
