More than this, healing looks different for everyone, but regardless of how we heal or how long it takes us to heal, healing is so necessary for us to reconcile with the generations of trauma and hurt that our ancestors, mothers, sisters, aunties have endured…The poems found in this book are a series of love letters: love letters to who I was, from who I am, for who I will become. As a reader, you bear witness to the struggles, the joys, and the thoughts that I have as someone who is constantly becoming. In this way, we, too, are having a heart-to-heart throughout this book.

And within the crevices of the gendered and racist violence perpetuated against Hmong American women emerges a spirit of hope which powerfully reveals Vang’s willpower as a profoundly empathetic being. And in the grand finale of it all, Vang’s poetry resurrects our faith in the transformative change emblematic of the human spirit.
