This book of poetry is a reminiscent journey so far recounting a friend and family member, not related by blood, but by more than blood. By love, care and struggle. This book of poetry is one of contemplation, mourning, recalling and learning to live with and to come to terms with grief, loss and betrayal, from someone who I considered my sister, and will probably love endlessly until my end of days.

The first chapter, 'Betrayal' focuses on heartache, loss, and hurting without any prospect at this time for recovery. The second chapter 'Recovery' focuses on a journey to recovery, being kind to oneself, to reconcile the pain and hurt you have felt and to learn to take life as it is, recovering, step by step, a long but not impossible process. The final chapter 'To my Soul' looks at being left to realise the part someone has had to play in my own development, my own creation of a sense of self. At the same time, the need to care for oneself, be kind to oneself, to heal, recover and move on.

I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive their betrayal, and I think my heart will take it to my grave, but I still care about them and wish them all the best.
