—Praise from BookLife Reviews (Publisher’s Weekly) 

“Heartwell’s poetic debut stitches together ancestry, love, and belonging in a story families will treasure.”  —BookLife Reviews (Publisher’s Weekly) 

—Empowered by Our Roots 

“I highly recommend this book. It rekindled pride and purpose, reminding me how much beauty and strength we carry within. Mia’s story honors a long line of heroes and trailblazers and calls every child to tap into that legacy, chart their own path, and remember they represent a community—they are not alone.” —Janine, Auntie & Teacher 

—Deeply Relatable for First-Time Moms

“This book touched me deeply and even brought me close to tears. The poems ‘Woven From My Tears’ and ‘Whispered in Prayer’ resonated most. I’m a first-time mom, and this is my second pregnancy; my first ended in miscarriage. That’s why those passages meant so much to me. I felt every word—as the book beautifully captures the love parents have for their children and the profound emotions you experience after becoming a parent.” —Dee, First-Time Mom
