A Handful of Stars/Ruby Dhal

Description Hope is found in wishes made upon shooting stars, so a handful of stars gives us faith. A Handful of Stars is a journey of courage and resilience that readers take from falling to healing, realising along the way that the journey is not going to be easy. The book branches over various themes from love, heartbreak, loss and womanhood to self-love, revival and healing. Readers learn about the beauty and innocence of falling and they learn that healing is not a destination but a process, and this process can often last a lifetime. The book teaches that a person's softness is their biggest strength and that having a big heart is not always a bad thing, and a glimmer of light can be found even in the darkest places. A Handful of Stars is raw and unapologetic, soft and kind, reflective and inspirational all at the same time. Some of Ruby's most loved poems are shared within the pages of this book, in hope that they will have the same effect on the readers the second time as they did the first.
