    About this ebook

    My Almost Heart holds your hand and weaves you through its poetry along a quiet forested pathway, whispering to your own heart to feel again. It is a unique book of tender, emotive poetry that recalls a time when we dared to feel, hope, and love. Do you remember how? My Almost Heart will remind you.
