Writing has been Peggy Belles's uncensored outlet throughout her life. Documented here in captivating verse are the immense challenges and indelible experiences of one woman's journey from a childhood marred by abuse, family addiction, and death into adulthood and the pursuit of a purposeful life for herself by helping others.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMuch like squares of a quilt, each poem in \u003ci\u003ePeace in Pieces \u003c\/i\u003eserves as a story of its own-a distinct sliver of Belles's life-but together they illustrate the humbling lessons that come with experience. Loss, shame, abuse, and regret are influences of Belles's words, but ultimately the power of vulnerability and the cyclical nature of blame and forgiveness are the prizes waiting in reflection. The poems run the gamut of some of life's most tragic themes. But through shimmering stanzas comes a sense of triumph amid challenge and the uplifting notion that inner peace is only waiting to be discovered.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUltimately, Belles's autobiography as told through her poetry is much more than it seems. \u003ci\u003ePeace in Pieces\u003c\/i\u003e captures a powerful sense of self-a deep consciousness and awareness that reveals that true inner strength is more than the mere ability to march on through adversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peggy Belles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692936564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692936566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peggy Belles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.25d","brand":"Peggy Belles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640566042879,"sku":"9780692936566","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3f11e7a8-f8ea-43e0-8b35-7335a59f7089.jpg?v=1740669969","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/peace-in-pieces-peggy-belles-9780692936566","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
