"...one of those rare books that cut you and heal you at the same time... Buy the book. You won't regret it." -Elison, author of The Evolution of Love "part-poetic journey, part-survival guide through love, loss and finding yourself again...a haunting story of survival...A powerful read." -Rocky Rivera, emcee and author "...the perfect poetic orgasm!" -Mpho, host of Journey With Mpho Podcast "Raw, poignant-and, ultimately, healing" -Trista Hendren, creatrix of Girl God Books More than a poetry book, Love and Gaslight is a story. Divided into five chapters, it sparks with one woman's decision to leave an unhappy relationship. Her choice begins a painful unraveling. Poem by poem, she searches for lost innocence and unpalatable truth. She is a sexual assault survivor reclaiming her body. She is an immigrant climbing into the home-sized hole in her heart. She is an adult comforting her inner child. She is a woman questioning the social conditioning that governs her freedom. Love and Gaslight is raw, political, and transgressive. It's edgy, feminist, and relevant. Most importantly, it's honest. You will feel it. Whether it makes you feel sad, glad, or attacked, it will also make you feel brave enough to speak your truth.
