Planted - Hardcover

by Sharon Rose (Author)

Planted is a raw and lyrical memoir in poetic form, chronicling a woman's profound journey from childhood trauma and emotional neglect to self-reclamation, healing, and rebirth. Through fragmented, intimate vignettes, the author navigates the complexities of an abusive upbringing, fractured family dynamics, love and loss, motherhood, and the quiet revolutions of everyday life. With unflinching honesty, she explores anguish not as an enemy but as a companion-something to be sat with, understood, and transformed. Nature becomes both metaphor and sanctuary, as images of trees, sunsets, embers, and seasonal change mirror her inner landscape. From the haunting echoes of a difficult past to the gentle glow of present peace, this collection is an alchemy of pain into wisdom. It's a testament to resilience, the power of female friendship, and the quiet courage it takes to rebuild a life from scorched earth. Ultimately, Planted is an invitation to witness the beauty in brokenness, the strength in softness, and the quiet triumph of being truly, unapologetically alive.
