Sown in the Light
Sown in Light is a captivating collection of poems, stories and experiences told from the point of view of a young, black girl who grew up in a conservative Christian home. Each poem in this book is a snapshot of a significant moment in my life that paved the way for my spiritual journey. The struggle I describe is not new but true to the experience of those who grew up in religious households. To truly express this work, the book is divided into 3 parts: The Seeds, The Weeds, and The Tree. These sections describe the nurturing in my youth, the struggle in my heart, and the blooming of my faith. It is heartwarming in its authenticity and captivating in its transparency. It is a book for my generation and all the ones to come.
