To, The Bravest Person I Know

From growing up with dysfunctional families to coming of age, from dealing with heartbreak, pain and grief to learning to accept and forgive, to the bravest person I know is modern therapy delivered to you through a series of poems and a letter in verse that runs as a footnote from the beginning to the end of the book.

The poems explore the whole construct of 'normal', or of that which was created to make people feel less normal, to make them feel 'abnormal'. They tell us that depression is normal, as is fear; feeling insecure is normal, as is hurting people. And bravery is about facing all of this-it's about facing everything life throws at you every day.

To the bravest person I know cuts through rainbows and self-righteous dross to provide a vaccine of truth, liberating and reminding us that we are all in a tunnel, and that it's normal to feel like we may never get out. But there is light at the end of it.
