Emotional, deep, layered, beautiful, and stunning. This book of adoption poems will break your heart, then stitch it back together again.
Drawing on her own experience as an adopted child, author Celaine Charles crafts poems based on both her own life and fictionalized stories of her own design. The result is a powerful and honest book because it is told from the heart.
How does it feel to give up your child for adoption, to adopt, or be adopted? Three Hearts Stitched tells the story from each view, often in a way you didn’t expect, revealing deep emotions and heart. The child who wonders if they were wanted or unwanted. A birth mother filled simultaneously with sorrow and hope. Parents who long for children to arrive.
Confusion, sadness, joy. All these feelings and more are captured in Three Hearts Stitched. Let your heart break, mourn, and get stitched back together again.
