Butterflies and Battle Scars. Reflections on Heartbreak, Healing, and Hope (en Inglés) - Yanni Korakianitis;Cassandra Cardwell

Leaving isn't the hard part.
Living with what comes after is.

Butterflies and Battle Scars is a poetry and prose collection about what it really looks like to leave, to heal, and to love again-without pretending the past didn't leave marks.

Written in the aftermath of divorce, these pages trace the quiet work of rebuilding: choosing yourself when staying costs too much, protecting your children while carrying your own grief, and learning to trust your voice again.

This is not a story of bitterness or blame. It is about boundaries, accountability, and the kind of strength that doesn't need to be loud to be real.

For anyone who has walked away, questioned themselves, and wondered if peace was something they were truly allowed to have-this book is for you.
