I loved this book of poetry. I loved how Gill weaved storytelling and poetry together. She's incredibly talented and Paro's story has a special place in my heart. If not for leading a busy life, I would've finished this book a lot sooner, it definitely deserved to not be put down and finished in one sitting. I would highly recommend this for anyone struggling with their identity or place in the world. Gill may write about mythological Gods and Goddesses but the lessons learned from them are real.
