Recovery

By Katharine Richmond

I wrote these poems to help myself recover and grow. This book is a collection of poems that reflect life’s hurdles as well as victories.

I hope this book allows others to share my experiences, strengths and hopes. As a mental health survivor I hope that others can benefit and take joy in reading my work.
