SCARS

A Healing Anthology

 

Poems and Short Stories About Overcoming Trauma, Resilience, Scars, Healing, and Mental Health

​

The SCARS anthology is available now on Amazon!

​

What is your story of scars? Your poem or short story about overcoming trauma, resilience, and healing you would like to share with someone who is where you were? What life lessons did you have to learn the hard way?

​

Poets and writers from around the world share their poems and short stories about the power of faith and self-love, about scars that have healed, and lessons learned that may give someone the strength they need to face another day. 

​

Proceeds from this book will be donated to mental health organizations such as 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and NAMI.org.

​

SCARS was published May 2023 to honor Mental Health Awareness Month.
