Amanda Lovelace has done it again!!! I bought this book on Sunday and I couldn't put it down! I loved it! It was so powerful. As always, here are some of my favorite quotes.
"i’ve learned that not everyone is worthy of a redemption arc. —make sure they know consequences are real."
"as much as i sometimes feel like breaking, i have never been broken. if i have survived every bad thing that’s ever happened to me, then doesn’t that mean that i will keep on surviving them? —never shall i fall from my throne."
"bless my mother’s anger. i know if anyone should ever try to inflict pain upon me, she’ll bring the whole earth to its knees to get justice for it. —i wouldn’t mess with her wrath."
"in a hushed voice, she says to me, “when they drag you through hell, do not simply accept it. do not just give in. go on & reign over the very flames that were meant to be your end. wear them as a crown.”—show them who’s queen."

Some pages are sad; some are inspiring; some are trite but true; and some are transcendent, stopping this reader in her tracks and making her reread and few times bed staring into space to think on.
A perfect read (or re-read) for the moments you're not feeling strong. Lovelace's new collection urges women to embrace themselves as they are - the flowers and the fire. FRTK

Flower Crowns and Fearsome Things by Amanda Lovelace is a stunning collection of poetry. I have read many of her books and they never disappoint. The poems in this collection are beautiful, stunning, emotional, and brave. Well done Amanda!
