Product Description
by Mercy Roberts (Author)
For all of those sitting in shadows of sorrow,
unsure of stepping into the light,
of being seen,
feeling flawed,
unaware of your pure worth,
warding off consuming darkness
that distorts and suffocates:
I see you.
I hear you.
I reach out my hand to you.
Please take it,
walk with me.
Mercy Roberts believes that touching one soul changes the landscape of the world. Emotion is her first, most fluent, and favorite language. She writes to give voice to those locked in fragile, traumatized silence.
In this collection of free verse, Mercy not only shares a moving glimpse into her relationships with men, but also provides an unflinching exploration through childhood trauma and far beyond. She illuminates the vulnerability and power of one voice as it rises to find a path to healing.
Justice rises one word at a time. Bare. Stripped. Exposed. Relentless. Fragments Rising is an evocative memoir in free verse that captures pure strength of spirit and the power of a gentle heart that has reached a moment of grace, safe enough to speak at all, and at last.
