In diesem Buch bringen Gedichte, auf Deutsch und auf Englisch, reflektierende Perspektiven von gesellschaftlichen Wendepunkten zum Vorschein - sowie solchen, die es werden können. Aktuelle, relevante Diskussionsthemen, wie unter anderem Leistungsdenken, Gender-Ungleichheiten, Gesellschaftsspaltung oder die Klimakrise, werden auf kreative Weise behandelt und laden zum Weiterdenken und Handeln ein.

I've spent my life weaving stories that captivate millions, yet here I am, alone in this enormous house, surrounded by silence. Success hasn't brought me the happiness I thought it would. The mansion feels more like a gilded cage, each room echoing with the emptiness of a life that looks perfect from the outside but feels anything but. One stormy night, as the rain pounds against the windows and the power goes out, I'm plunged into darkness both literally and figuratively. While searching for candles, I stumble upon something I never expected: a hidden door behind my bookshelf. A door I've never seen before, leading to a secret room buried deep within the walls of my own home. What lies beyond that door? As I step inside, I'm faced with a mystery that shakes the foundations of everything I thought I knew. This discovery could finally fill the void I've been living with for so long or it might just lead me deeper into the darkness.

Josephine has an easy-going relationship with her boyfriend, Luke. But after witnessing her parents' divorce, and as Luke starts to advance in his career an artist, Josephine is forced to contend with challenges growing in her own relationship. By examining a failed marriage, as well as through exploring complex topics of gender in art, the author - through Josephine - challenges set perceptions of relationships and problem resolution. No relationship is easy, and not every person is exactly how they seem. Sometimes it takes a long time to realise the bad, and longer still to rediscover the good on the other side. It's through empathy that we can begin to better understand one another, overcome our pain, and begin to restrengthen the bonds that once connected us.
