In order to uncage the girl within, you have to love her, heal her, and set her free. There are moments every girl knows: The pain of wanting to fi t in. The joy of being consumed by love. The shame of not feeling at home in your body. The strength in learning you're beautiful. Francesca Lia Block follows the journey from girlhood to womanhood in this soaring three-part poetry collection. Exploring those unspoken feelings and words--the thorny, sparkling moments that chain us to ourselves--Block gives a startlingly personal voice to girls and women everywhere.
