Book Overview

What makes this such a stellar read is not only is Marla aware of who she is, but she's finally got to the point where she's unabashedly ready to tell us as well " -Tyler Merritt, author of I Take My Coffee Black and Creator of The Tyler Merritt Project

When you've spent your entire life defined by your faith, who are you when that faith shatters, leaving you to pick up broken pieces, wondering if anything can be saved? Marla Taviano--author, single mom, and former Christian--set out on a journey to find out.

What she uncovered was that, after deconstructing a toxic belief system and working to dismantle systems of injustice, some things hadn't changed. She still loved people and wanted them to be free and whole--and she wanted that for herself too. It just looked different now. So whole: poems on reclaiming the pieces of ourselves and creating something new talks about looking back to move forward, new thoughts on god, our inner lives, embodied living, and books, books, books.

If you long for the freedom to be your true self, if you ache for healing and wholeness for yourself and a broken world, if you need some lighthearted fun amid all the hard, Marla's got you. This book is a collection of mini-love letter poems to herself and all of us.

Read this book!!!!

If you are an ex fundamentalist, questioning your faith, or simply leaning into your spirituality without the dictation of the patriarchy, you need this book. Marla sprinkles humor, sass, and a powerful punch into these short relatable poems. Rarely are the poems more than a page long yet they are profound. You’ll laugh, cry, write them in your journal, and end up falling in love with Marla.
