Lacie grew up knowing that she had been given up for adoption, but without the safety and support of the family that had adopted her to fall back on. Their abuse grew worse when they had a child of their own blood. Lacie was left to figure life out on her own, with constant negativity on her shoulders. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe put-downs, the let-downs, and the empty broken promises battered her. With no other outlets to help alleviate her inner turmoil, Lacie turned to writing poetry. In that art form she found solace and escape. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYears later, as an adult, Lacie returned to those poems. Collected here, the poems in this collection are an exploration of how we interact with, grow past, and heal from trauma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 07, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47582746673373,"sku":"9781039198920","price":41.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/a22Kh3nUHa9781039198920_5a7ca326-b057-4065-bd0d-d733cd1f706a.webp?v=1773583440","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/anthology-of-an-adopted-name-hardcover-2","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
