Seeds Of A Sunflower

by Andrea Conn, Syed Umar Bukhari

Every sunflower seed can grow into a new flower.Like love overcoming trauma, self-worth emerging fromself-doubt, or a new purpose stumbled upon after anidentity crisis; each sunflower seed will bloom and grow.It will eventually be reborn with enough care andnurturing if you bury it deep enough.Seeds of a Sunflower is a thought-provoking, rawcollection of autobiographical poems that will break yourheart and piece it back together, petal by petal, leaf byleaf, existing parasites and thorns included.By exposing this vulnerable, private side of her, AndreaConn tackles the shame and stigma society associateswith trauma, loss, paralyzing fear, and imperfection. Herstruggles with PTSD, infertility, and personal identity-adaily relatable battle that countless people face-illuminate the slow, painful path to inner strength andself-love.The sunflower will stand tall again. The phoenix will risefrom its ashes. The wounds will fade into scars.You won't forget how long it took you to heal, how muchrecovery resembled heartbreak, and how it hurt to growagain.Because you are worth more than you can imagine!
