Description
Originally released in 2015, this re-release of Whiskey Words & a Shovel I packs the same punch as the first version, but makes an even greater connection with the soul of the reader.
Each piece has been re-seen and revamped to reflect the author’s continuing journey with his partner, Samantha King, without whom this book would not exist. Samantha is the muse, the “she” the writer speaks of; she is every woman who has felt like she wasn’t good enough, and every woman who struggles to find love.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Whiskey Words & a Shovel I by r.h. Sin is praised for its raw and insightful poetry that delves into themes of heartbreak and toxic relationships. The author uses his past experiences to empower women, encouraging them to seek self-worth and avoid unworthy partners.
