I am reviewing a copy of To Shatter Glass through Paracalete Press/Iron Pen and Netgalley:
To Shattered Glass is at its essence a memoir in poetic form. It covers seventy years of struggle and experience. When she was in her early thirties and at the end of an abusive child.see marriage Sister Sharon Hunter entered a modern convent. Neither sheltered nor immune from reality, she confronted demons of the past and trauma brought with her, unresolved and in need of healing. Her collection obliterates a common belief that men and women enter religious orders to escape life. Its fifty-six poems vary in style and capture the heart and imagination of those searching for straight answers to difficult questions. This collection of poetry touches on the need to know ourselves, to accept our humanity as defined by God, and to strive toward reconciliation through self-examination and forgiveness.
To Shatter Glass is an invitation to wholeness for those scarred by family alcoholism. It is written for the quiet and sensitive buried by depression, and for those who may be too afraid to expose their wounds. It is for anyone who has experienced betrayal or the loss of a loved one through tragic circumstances.
I give To Shatter Glass five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
