"the price I paid to exist was a mother who couldn't love me.
my karma was a daughter made from stars."
Stars At Last
compassionately and candidly carries each reader's heart through a healing journey of breaking generational trauma while traversing the tumultuous waters of the mother wound. With deeply vulnerable and visceral lines, Jessica Jocelyn reclaims her personal power the closer she gets to freeing herself from a maternal trauma bond. She learns to not only be a loving mother towards herself, but she further rewrites her lineage's history by becoming the parent her mother could never be to her own daughter. Ultimately, this poignant poetry book is for the cycle-breakers; the ones who had to mother themselves along the path to self-empowerment and transformation. Trigger warnings include references to:
