Description
“When life feels as though it has been burned to the ground, reduced to piles of ash, there is always someone to remind us that life begins again, no matter how hard we fall or how disastrous the crash.”
This is the story of how you rose from the ashes—where every ending is a new beginning.
The final instalment in a long journey of healing is the fieriest of them all. Out of the Ashes offers a roadmap for readers seeking to emerge from devastation. Divided into seven sections—The Destruction, The End, The Quiet, The Wrath, The Transformation, The Arising, The Resurgence—this very personal and engaging new collection from prolific poet Courtney Peppernell illuminates a powerful journey of resilience and survival. It masterfully charts the process of rising again after your life has been burned to the ground.
