Poems and illustrations as reflections on life, childhood, hardship, transformation, and hope.

"In her poetry and drawings, Rachel has managed to find light in the darkness of her experiences, to find transformation in knowledge about her past, and to find hope for her future as a creative chronicler of her life. This collection is both a tribute to the power of words and the power of truth, to the writing and expression of what we know and how we remember it. " -Rose DePoto
