    About this ebook

    The author displays her vulnerability and openness in this collection of poetry, which spans the last twenty years of her life. She deals with such themes as lust and love, as well as illness and abuse, among other profound and relatable topics. The overriding theme, though, is that there is hope and triumph throughout all experiences, and is a poignant reminder that there is light through the dark. Faith also serves its purpose during all of life's most magnificent and most heart-wrenching times.

    Shawna Scott

    Shawna was born in Newfoundland to a Canadian mother and a British father. She spent her school days in Gander, NL. She briefly attended Acadia University and Mount Saint Vincent University in Nova Scotia, studying Applied Human Nutrition, where she obtained Dean's List status. Shawna later obtained her diploma in Licensed Practical Nursing and worked as a nurse in both Gander, NL, and Ottawa, ON. Her passion for art, music, and poetry was always apparent, and she began writing poetry around the age of twenty. Many poems in this book are from this time. She currently lives in her hometown with her family and is very content with being creative.
