About the Book In this collection of poetry, witness the evolution of a woman who subjects herself to an abusive relationship because she is desperate for someone to love her. She discovers the self-love of beauty that dwells within her, awaiting her acknowledgement and acceptance. A powerful tool for self-validation, Abuse and a Journey to Self-Love is a poignant reminder that it is never too late to walk away; it is never too late to fall in love with yourself; and it is never a shame to look back and talk about your darkest moments, because you are greater than those moments and will always be.
