​"Powerful and important work engaging elements of place, the process of healing the spirit and the painful recovery from childhood abuse and the staggering navigation of our larger toxic societal sphere that girls and women, especially, find themselves living in and through. These poems bring light to the shadows, and give voice to anyone seeking the words and the map to guide them through oppression and hopelessness."

​

— David Anthony Martin, author of The Ground Nest, Bijoux, Span, and Deepening the Map

"This is a brave collection. The self-discovery presented on these pages is raw and honest. Accidental Hope sheds light on cultural/generational trauma that can affect anyone, but more importantly it showcases how it doesn't have to define your inner soul."

—Marissa Forbes, author of Surviving Peter Pan (Beyond The Veil Press) and Brief & Bleeding Margins (World Stage Press)
