Book description
These poems walk with you through seasons of heartbreak, rebirth, and homecoming. Drawing on the strength of the natural world to renew itself each spring, this debut collection from James A. Pearson doesn't flinch from the moments when life comes crashing down. But it's not stuck there, either.Each poem meets you with a gentle faith-that just like the trees and the ferns and the summer foxgloves, you carry within you an inextinguishable spark of life. And when you find your way back to that spark, new seasons bloom."Only there will you findthe tiny seedthat holds the whole mystery of youand cradle itin the warmth of your bodyuntil the spring."-from the poem "Wintering"

Kamikaze Granny
ListenBook has added a new dimension to my audiobook listening experience – it's not just about the content, but the convenience too. Finally, an app that understands the power of CUE playlists. Perfect for organizing. This audiobook exceeded all my expectations! The narrator's ability to convey emotion through voice alone was remarkable. I laughed, I gasped, I might have even teared up at points - all because of the incredible vocal performance. The story came alive in a way reading alone couldn't achieve. A middle-of-the-road audiobook that neither impressed nor disappointed. The narrator's voice was agreeable enough for extended listening, though their character differentiation could have been stronger. The production met basic industry standards without any standout qualities.
