"this is the poetry that has come from finally realizing it is okay to be okay but also not okay at the same time." ~ 'how the words come' tells the story of overcoming the aftermath of an emotionally abusive relationship. the book is separated into two parts. the first part, titled 'the broken and the bruised' delves into the pain and heartbreak one feels while dealing with the trauma an abuser leaves in their wake. the second part, titled ' the happy and the healed' is filled with lighter, positive, and empowering poetry, embodying the strength and joy one finds in new love and in healing. there are also pieces covering topics like feminism, gun control, the act of writing itself, and self-love throughout the entire collection. for more of catarine hancock's poetry, check out her instagram: @catarinehancock

"Ms. Reed, I'm calling you in regard of Mr. Mark Sloan. Mr. Sloan seemed to have listed you as his emergency contact. He was in a plane crash and is in a severe condition, I'm so sorry." The call had changed everything. For better or for worse. *SPOILERS MAY OCCUR*
