Synopsis:

Heals a different heartache. milk and honey takes listeners through a journey of the most bitter moments in life and finds sweetness in them-because there is sweetness everywhere if you are just willing to look.
Excerpt:

Reviews:
Angel Treniecea Lee Milk and Honey was a wonderful read for me and I loved every bit of it. I like that it breaks down in four processes of healing yourself such as The hurting, The loving, The breaking and the healing. The book is very inspiring and makes me want to continue to write and also grow as a women.
Joyce Rachelle Milk and Honey was OK, although it did make me wonder whether there was too much unfiltered truth in there. It was good light reading, but one that I would think twice before recommending to parents or siblings.
Alexis Tolkkinen Rupi Kaur has a straight forward yet clever way with words that doesn't leave people confused about each meaning behind her poetry. Poetry is all about evoking feeling and Rupi manages to stir deep emotion in her readers through ranges of different topics in life that may seem difficult but through discussing them, lose their sting. From topics of abuse recovery to self love she will carry your heart away to finding a version of yourself you always thought would have to stay silent. She is no shallow poet and her words will change your heart if you first give her words a chance.
Courteney White Milk and Honey is a beautiful book of poetry covering many different topics. It’s good for any mood.
