In this powerful new collection of wisdom and poetry, Donna Ashworth helps us to find strength and courage on the days we feel lost, to pick ourselves up when times are hard, to soothe fear and self-doubt when we are in their grip, and to let in more life and love as we brave our challenges.

Fear is a limiting factor for many of us and if we don't challenge it we can find ourselves falling foul of it and keeping out more of the good stuff in life than the bad. With poems such as 'One Day You'll See', 'Growing in Moonlight', 'The Comparing' and 'Always There', bestselling author Donna Ashworth helps us to see that no matter how small or afraid we feel, we make the biggest difference in this world and to our ow n happiness when we are brave enough to show up as ourselves.
