Paper Girl and the Knives That Made Her

Book excerpt: "I have never been anything but a paper girl. Something to tear into pieces. Something to burn." Ideal for those struggling with their own mental health, this is a book of inspiration from a poet and mental health advocate who shares her experience with an active social media following. We've all been paper before. We've all been fragile. Leaf-like and gently blowing. Enough to create stories or build fires. So, we go through life like that. We come across the things that tear us into pieces, and we keep going. We keep fighting because we must. We look for ways to be whole. To be the person we dream to be. Fragile by nature, but tough by circumstance, paper girls are shaped by their love and loss. This collection of poetry and prose describes the journey of learning to live fully through the messiness of life and tenuousness of mental health.
