Scraps of Love: Poetry from the Darkest Night 1997-2010

"Where I am, becomes where I've been..."

So begins the tale of a young woman's journey through the trenches of abuse as she fights toward the light.

Scraps of Love is a raw, unfiltered poetic journal that spans fourteen years, and explores the inner workings of a survivor's mind as she endures physical, sexual, and psychological abuse.

Using her only freedom, her poetic voice, Shann holds nothing back as she clings to hope. Along the way, she learns to redefine her role as victim for that of warrior, as she strives for a life of self-acceptance, freedom, and a future.
