""This lovingly laboured assortment of thought-provoking poems brings you a taste of the bitter-sweet experiences which come with experiences of holding on and letting go. Many times, life teaches when to hold on, and when to let go; and in this moving and inspiring poetry collection, Gemma Herbertson takes you on a journey of parts and counterparts in life: from the flighty highs of love and finding purpose, to the realities of Alzheimer's Disease, and being a mother to a child with complex special needs. It also includes reflections on some of the more profound questions which can both confront and comfort us through our lives. This is a poetry collection which you will cherish, contemplate, and enjoy.""
