Little Thistle Girl: a journey in growing up backwards

"Bloom not where you were planted, bloom where you have been found." Little Thistle Girl follows the journey of a mature, thick-skinned little girl as she fights to grow up into a youthful, gentle-hearted adult. In poems that unpack life after childhood trauma, this collection explores living authentically despite resistance, discovering the strength in softness, and redefining what it truly means to grow.
