    About this ebook

    Fractured, Yet Healing is a collection of poems, visual art, and photography detailing a soulful, healing journey. In a nonlinear fashion, the narrative bleeds and stumbles until divine light casts away shadowed confusion. It is a human account that journeys you from a frozen, seemingly perpetual hell to a vivacious, white garden by way of deep introspection and divine healing. Fractured, Yet Healing is for the Soul: it is a work intended to promote a culture of healing and illuminate its plausibility.
