There's a little something in here for everyone. With every turn of the page, readers are encouraged to let go of their preconceived notions and be poetically persuaded to change their perspective for the better. Whether you are looking for comfort in times of sorrow or seeking inspiration to live a more meaningful life, this collection is a testament to the transformative power of poetry and a must-read for anyone on a journey of self-discovery. This is Emmanuel's tribute to his upbringing, his family, himself and to you. This was made for you.
