Broken Hearts - Healing Words

Life is filled with seasons: seasons of laughter, seasons of growth, and [even] seasons of grief. It is in these seasons our souls turn inward. We seek solace, we seek freedom - and we hide. We hide from ourselves, we hide from others, we hide without even realizing we are hiding. The words in this anthology were written by souls who understand the need of companionship in those darkened days of hiding. They are dedicated to those who have loved and lost, and those who are hiding and healing.

Broken Hearts: Healing Words, was born in a large part out of a writing competition held by A. B. Baird Publishing - these are the winners of that competition.

Grand Prize: "What Will Remain" Emily May Portillo

First Runner Up: "Pray For Us" Greg Oman

People's Choice: "Light As A Feather" Whiskey + Empathy

In addition to these award winning poets, this powerful collection of poetry is filled with the powerful emotions of both hurt and healing, brought to you by writers from around the world who have personally experienced the overwhelming sense of loss. With nearly 50 writers contributing to the almost 200 pieces inside, readers are sure to find words that connect with their own soul.

Thank you to the incredible authors, willing to share their own journeys with the world.
