Epiphany: Poetry Taking the Heart from Pain to Healing - Paperback

by Tatianna Danielle (Author), Alphonso (Author)

This book is a glimpse inside the mind and heart of a sister and a brother. Their bond is stronger than what is perceived. Both siblings wanted to be loved and accepted, but life challenges caused isolation and disconnections. One sibling was distant, going from being a single mother to marriage and moving on in life with being a military spouse, living in different states, and traveling the world has been an escape. Still, the other sibling was deemed an outcast due to the decisions not always being conducive to life. Both have dealt with many obstacles in life. Abandoned by their mother, having different fathers, dealing with rejection, and mistreatment by others have been challenging. They faced struggles of fitting in with their peers and looking for love in all the wrong places. The streets entangled one, and abuse was experienced by the other on many occasions. Disappointments caused both to look up for answers, while tears became evident when alone, yet they were able to confide in each other. Neither was judged or looked at as doing any wrong. They were just in need of trust and love--two characteristics developed through the genes of family. Together they share a tale of disappointments and pain, seeking healing from the trauma experienced. This is their story.
