Through The Trees is particularly a poetry book forged through strength and survival, but it is also a work of wisdom, understanding that a piece of wisdom passed down from one generation of women to the next. My mom says that if you take every negative and always think negatively that’s all you’ll ever find — disappointment. But if you take a negative and you think about the good it led you to, you might just understand His plan in the smallest of ways. So, although this book that you’re reading will have the negatives in it, this book is a way to heal. Not only a way for ME to heal, but so I can help be an ally, a voice of the friends who have yet to find theirs. If the bad never happened, I wouldn’t know how good the good gets.
