Every sunflower seed can grow into a new flower.
Like love overcoming trauma, self-worth emerging from
self-doubt, or a new purpose stumbled upon after an
identity crisis; each sunflower seed will bloom and grow.
It will eventually be reborn with enough care and
nurturing if you bury it deep enough.
Seeds of a Sunflower is a thought-provoking, raw
collection of autobiographical poems that will break your
heart and piece it back together, petal by petal, leaf by
leaf, existing parasites and thorns included.
By exposing this vulnerable, private side of her, Andrea
Conn tackles the shame and stigma society associates
with trauma, loss, paralyzing fear, and imperfection. Her
struggles with PTSD, infertility, and personal identity-a
daily relatable battle that countless people face-
illuminate the slow, painful path to inner strength and
self-love.
The sunflower will stand tall again. The phoenix will rise
from its ashes. The wounds will fade into scars.
You won't forget how long it took you to heal, how much
recovery resembled heartbreak, and how it hurt to grow
again.
Because you are worth more than you can imagine!
