The Strength In Our Scars

A beautiful book of poems about love, loss, healing, and everything in between. Many of her poems resonated with me. Especially the ones she wrote about healing. I definitely recommend this book!

I have had this book for 2 years now and when I tell you, this is my go to when I need strength, courage and to simply get out of bed. I bought it in 2022 I thought it would be a read and put away book never to look back again. I Never re-read books. but this one It comes with me everywhere I go in my bag. these are short verses that are empowering to any individual healing through a tough time. They are not repetitive very unique. Thank you for sharing your heart in this book.

So beautifully healing! Every adult struggling with life needs to read this!Absolutely love how the author reiterates in a gentle yet empowering way to “stay soft”. I also can’t agree more with the author that it is a shame that today’s society perceives being soft and gentle as weak; because that is in fact the hardest thing to stop the “domino of hurt”, to not let the cruelty of this world turn you into something you’re not, and to be able to love, give and believe as if you’re still an innocent child.We’ve built many walls through life, but we also have the power to melt them all, stay soft, stay gentle, and be the reason someone else believes in light in this world.

Good

The poetry/writing was great. I guess it just wasn’t what I had expected to get into. With that said it sat on my unfinished shelf for quite awhile. When I picked it back up I found that I could relate to many of the writings in my current moment.

Daughter asked for it she must like it

Great book!

This book is simply AMAZING, brought tears to my eyes many times because I related to the words she's written. It's been a VERY long 16 years for me: from being diagnosed with epilepsy, so much medications, people leaving my life just because of my "invisible" yet chronic illness, to my recent brain surgeries to try to fix it because I thought and felt I was broken. I've recently discovered how much of an impact my past has made in my life, as well as the crucial family dynamics and miscommunication. So called friends have left just because of my illness and the one I have has changed since I've opened up to her about a lot of things, but that's okay. I'm used to it and accept it because it's MY journey. I'm thankful to her in many ways.... Long story short like she says at one point," YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH!" I'm told I'm overly sensitive, but I've been too strong holding Soo much inside for so many years it's okay to not always be okay. We're only humans and will never be perfect, but as long as YOU know who you are and forgive sincerely forgive and not hold back, it will change your life for the better. This book has allowed me to see things I didn't see despite things I already knew and agreed with. Her words resonate with me still and will forever. I have to admit, I feel a lot less heavier after this book. EVERYONE MUST READ THIS!! Thank you, Ms. Sparacino ❤️
