Teaser Tuesday: The Girl Inside Me: Poems by Javelin Hardy

There is a little girl inside of me

Trapped, afraid and wanting to be set free.

But I'm 33 now --

What is this little girl doing inside of me?

-- From the title poem in The Girl Inside Me: Poems by Javelin Hardy. Hardy draws on her training and background as a counselor to tell her own story of recovery from abuse in this beautiful book of poetry and historic photographs.

Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by The Purple Booker, where you can find the official rules for this weekly event.
