But I call it
a midlife
awakening.

“This was a beautiful book of poems – the author crafted a compelling narrative of love, betrayal, community, resilience, and healing all through poetry.

“A MUST read for anyone who has loved and lost, or wants to know at a deep personal level what it’s like and how to heal afterwards. If you read this book, be prepared for it to get real, really quick, be prepared for it to touch your heart, and be prepared to walk away feeling inspired. Chelsey Marie has written a poetic guide on how to live life fully, lose yourself in love, and how to pick up all of the pieces when it falls apart.“
