Having struggled in her teenage years with perfectionism, eating disorders, and depression, for Donna this is a very personal passion project. I Wish I Knew is a book that will bring comfort, confidence, sisterhood, and acceptance into the hearts of young women and is also relevant for young men.

This book will start conversations and open discussions on the serious issues young people are facing today.

Many of Donna's poems have gone viral, travelled round the world, and been viewed millions of times. Her work has been turned into songs, videos, and read by celebrities, and she was recently featured in both Grazia and Glamour magazine as one of the most celebrated female poets.

This new collection of 60 poems, covering body image, self-esteem, depression, pressure, acceptance, growth, and relationships, is published at a perfect time and will resonate with young people and adults everywhere.
