Review

In Broken Feather, Suzanne Stutman takes the reader through an enchanted world of poetry and prose in an intensely personal journey from the buried depths of child abuse through the labyrinth of remembrance to the dawn of adult healing. Stutman is an articulate and candid narrator of her own life, and Broken Feather is ultimately a testimony to the power of the human spirit to heal from the long suppressed wounds of child abuse. Broken Feather is highly recommended reading for anyone dealing with the problems of overcoming child abuse legacies within themselves or their loved ones. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: Broken Feather: A Journey to Healing (Hardcover)

Suzanne has created a gentle, yet haunting and beautiful collection of poems/writings about child sexual abuse. It is not easy to write with the honesty of emotion that Stutman does: somehow these poems are raw with devastation and with the hope and rough terrain of reclaimation, and yet not overwhelming. An excellent book, I would think, to give as a gift or to share with a friend who wants to understand. Sometimes her simplest poems are the most powerful; the silence of stark paper surrounding a mending poem gives it shape. These are the writings that will let you know that you are not alone in your journey to reclaim your body, your sense of trust in the world, your hope, your self. Beautiful. Simply.
