Of Coming Home - Paperback

by Shannon Moyer Szemenyei (Author)

Held within these pages is the story of trusting oneself, of finding truth in the discomfort of trauma, of putting one's healing above the comfort of others. It is a story that echoes the narratives of so many who stay silent when wading in the waters of assault, loss, trauma and mental health.

Of Coming Home is representative of the rebirthing of oneself while struggling against the foundation that sought to destroy them. It is a searching and exploring, the journey inward and the confusion that it all held. It is a story of setting boundaries around the body and mind, about finding the voice and recognizing the healing process as important.

The poems held in this body of work show a progression from The Years of Breaking in that they are representative of what happens after the breaking is done - the rebuilding begins.
