Book Review 1: "Alaloul's words take you through the ebbs and flows, the highs and the lows of coming to awareness, reclaiming one's agency, and seeing the truth of one's own self worth. Her poems invite readers to look back at the pitfalls we face in the wilderness of love, see the way forward, and rise above into a higher self. This collection is a valuable companion to anyone on the journey to healing." -- Christopher Ferreiras, Author of The Sun Underground and All The Colors in between Book Review 2: "Nadine' poetry is emotional and packs a punch, telling stories of her life experience with love, heartache, life, death, and in general, the dualistic nature of life.
