    About this ebook

    And we all know, its those strikes on the outside
    that caused the divides within.
    But you are wrong to think
    that you will splinter to ruins.
    For if you see
    the branches knotted beneath,
    they will outlive all defeats.

    The Divides Within
    Author

    Mannat Boparai

    This is the first book of a 16 year old girl who always deemed herself incapable of achieving anything. This is not a self help book or her journey through the dark. It’s a collection of carvings of her thoughts. It’s a reminder of how the lurid days will all be worth for everything you are today.
