Nature and Stillness as Companions
Alongside her personal and spiritual reflections, McCarthy also draws inspiration from nature. In "Nature’s Lullaby" (pg. 60), she captures the calm beauty of the world around her—finding solace in rain, wind, and the quiet rhythms of the earth. These moments in the book offer space to breathe, to be still, and to remember that peace often comes from simplicity.
Her use of nature helps balance the emotional weight of the collection, creating a soothing rhythm that mirrors the ebb and flow of healing.

Faith at the Center
What makes this collection especially moving is how McCarthy brings her faith to the forefront. Her relationship with God isn’t just a subtle undercurrent—it’s central to her message and the foundation of her healing. We admire how openly and sincerely she brings spiritual truth into her writing, blending life lessons with heartfelt expressions of belief.
She writes about God as a presence in her daily life—a constant source of guidance, reassurance, and strength. In "Finding Self-Worth in God" (pg. 76), she shares a perspective that feels deeply personal but universally comforting: that we all have value and purpose, even when life has tried to convince us otherwise.
Her approach to faith is gentle but grounded, offering encouragement without preaching. Whether or not you share her beliefs, it’s hard not to be moved by her conviction and grace.

We Love Her Form, Style, and Language
One of the most distinctive qualities of this book is McCarthy’s poetic style. We absolutely love how she shapes her voice—clear, expressive, and emotionally rich. She embraces free verse in a way that allows her words to feel authentic and deeply personal. There’s no need for complicated metaphors or rigid structure; her poetry flows naturally from the heart.
Each line reads like a quiet reflection, sometimes like a prayer, and often like an inner dialogue made visible. Her choice of language is thoughtful yet simple, with meaning that lingers. This makes her poems incredibly approachable while still leaving room for depth and connection.
Rather than trying to impress with complexity, McCarthy connects with truth—and that’s where her power lies.

A Journey of Truth, Courage, and Growth
McCarthy’s poetry reads like a journey inward. Each poem explores a layer of the human experience—grief, trauma, hope, and ultimately, renewal. Her writing doesn’t come from a place of finality or perfection; it comes from the heart of the process, where transformation happens. This makes her work both accessible and profound, as she invites readers to walk beside her, not behind her.
From the very beginning, the book sets an affirming tone. In her poem "I Am Enough" (pg. 13), McCarthy declares a sense of worth and self-acceptance that reverberates throughout the collection. It’s a message that uplifts while remaining grounded in real-life struggle and resilience.
