    About this ebook

    Inscriptions of the Heart is an honest portrait of the human heart. Steeped in vulnerability, it exposes the heartbreaks, joys, and sufferings that every human heart knows. Simple, yet evocative and deep, the reader is swept away on the volatile journey of life. It is a literary piece that invites the broken to hope, the joyful to dance, the struggling to find peace, and all to embrace nature's wonder and God's grace.
