Womanhood Stories

A quiet story about a proposal that was never clearly accepted or rejected. Years pass, assumptions are made, and silence begins to feel like a decision. This is a personal narrative about time, family expectations, and learning to find one's own voice.

This ain't just a poetry book. This is a resurrection. Sorrows of a Phoenix is a raw, spiritual, and street-rooted collection of 114 long-form poems written for the soul that's had to burn just to breathe again. Jenny Booker's debut is a testimony : To grief, to womanhood, to rage, to healing, to rebirth. These poems are blunt. Unapologetic. Sacred. Written in the voice of a Black woman who's lived through abandonment, silence, survival, and spiritual awakening, this book unfolds in six sections:

She writes with ash on her fingers and spirit in her breath. These aren't just poems - they're survival chants. In Poems from a Sacred Heart, Jenny Booker delivers a gut-wrenching, soul-restoring collection of poems that speak for the broken, the rising, and the reborn. From Harlem hallways to southern fields, this collection honors the sacred rage, the hidden grief, the healing tears, and the divine within every Black woman.

She sits at crowded tables, drinks countless glasses of wine, and convinces herself that he loves her. That's what this city is for, isn't it? Reinvention? ***** Sixteenth Street is only supposed to be a job for her to afford the bills in the new city she now calls home. What she doesn't expect is to fall head over heels for a man with enough experience - both in the restaurant and in life - to make her forget the real reason she moved to this new city in the first place. Intoxicated by the world of fine dining and men who taste like her new favorite poison, she finds herself lost and in waiting - for him, for the guests, and, most importantly, for herself. ***** OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2026 -- prompts 28 & 29

"This is more than just a true story of love. It is an exploration into the abyss of a lover's complex psyche-a detailed dissection of an innocent woman's boundless devotion as she collides with a mind that takes on a thousand masks. It is the story of a soul that perished in the name of love, only to rebuild a resilient life from the very same ashes. ​An impartial mirror reflecting a breathtaking humanity, caught in the crossfire between an ungovernable heart and the nature of obsession. This is a psychological autopsy of the fatal battle between the mind and the heart." "Based on a true story"

A man who feels like fate. A love that sounds like care. A story never questioned. This is not a romance. It's the moment before a woman disappears into one. This is my entry for the „Wuthering Heights" Reimagined Contest. Gentle readers welcome - honest critique even more. If something here feels familiar, that's not an accident ;)

My digital diary, real life experiences and deliberations. As a means to preserve my dignity, I choose to remain anonymous, but will love to converse with you. If you'd like to read the contents of the mind of a young Christian woman, feel free to peruse, but please don't judge.

SUSPENDED FOR RE-WRITING Bryn and Rome grew up together. Now, Bryn's heading off to university, and Rome, devastated and confused, sets out to detangle their fifteen years of friendship to unearth where it began to weather. A coming-of-age story about grief, first love, and sisterhood.

Not all women are tested by loss. Some are tested by waiting. She is a wife who loves quietly, prays without noise, and waits for a child without knowing when. Surrounded by questions, comparisons, and unspoken fears, she learns that her worth is not defined by her womb, but by her faith, her love, and her courage to remain gentle in a difficult season. Waiting in Quiet Faith is a reflective monologue novel about womanhood, marriage, prayer, and surrender- a story for anyone who has ever waited and learned to trust God in the silence.

These are short stories that are full of emotion and are funny. I hope you enjoy a sneak peak to my crumbling life ;) Welcome home! Please comment a red heart if you can relate! xoxo

When Anita's mother dies, the heart monitor flattens into a straight line - a line her mother could never draw. That moment changes everything. At sixteen, Anita becomes the mother of three siblings in the soot-stained city of Port Harcourt. While other girls dream of school and love, she learns to trade both for survival - selling zobo by the roadside, burying her tears beneath duty. Life takes more than it gives: her father, her dreams, her body, her freedom. When a boy named Kenneth offers her a glimpse of tenderness, it feels almost like healing - until loss returns, sharper than before. From the farms of the village to the glittering loneliness of the city, Anita's life becomes a series of choices made in the dark, each one carving her into someone she never planned to be. In Straight Lines, I tell a story of womanhood, survival, and the cruel poetry of fate - where love comes too late, and the lines we draw to hold ourselves together don't always stay straight. #1 rightpersonwrongtime - Jan 6th, 2026 #1 teenagehood - Jan 6th, 2026 Started: 29th October, 2025 Ended: ... #JusticeforOchanya

She didn't ask to carry all this - but she does. This piece is for every girl who's ever felt too seen, too silenced, too heavy, too divine. For the soft-spoken storms, the quiet fighters, the ones still learning how to exist boldly in a world that asks too much and offers too little.

Through the process she has to experience many hard situations, but what if she can't ever find him?

a compilation of poems completed in 2021. My goal was to keep writing in hopes my words will resonate with someone and soothe the confusion and harm that will inevitably exist.
