The Wallflower That Bloomed Catherine C Berquin

A thought-provoking collaboration of free verse poems about lesbian love, intimacy, and relationship issues, The Wallflower That Bloomed inspires and encourages those who have dealt with heartache to move forward with courage.



From poems about lesbian breakups to those discussing issues related to women of color, this collection sheds light on real world issues from the perspective of a young Black woman who portrays what it's like growing up in a society where stereo-types and prejudice against women, minorities, and homosexuals are a reality.



The Wallflower That Bloomed also strives to create a sense of community and unity among people who have experienced heartbreak or discrimination, showing them they aren't alone in their struggles. And, through the author's own transformation from a victim of pain to a courageous young woman, it demonstrates that no matter how rough the going gets, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
