Synopsis
Crisal John's debut poetry collection takes readers on a deeply personal journey, from trauma to self-care, from silence to strength. Each stage invites reflection, healing, and rebirth.

Seven Seventeen reminds readers that healing begins with awareness and blossoms through self-compassion.
