by Jamal Thomas

Overview
Memoirs of the Heart is the symphony for your heart. Reconnect with the poor, vulnerable heart – one that you have buried behind layers of walls – and its many fears, but also its unadulterated beauty. Let it sing loudly. Just this once.
Description
Love is not one emotion; it is a rollercoaster of emotions. Battles of the heart keep us going through cycles of happiness, sorrow, contentment, warmth, pain, bitterness, and warmth. We have all fallen in love – sometimes we get love in return, sometimes we don't; sometimes the love blooms, only to wither away later; sometimes we love from the heart, only to be left alone; sometimes we love, and it lasts forever. The book will take you through a journey that crosses a child's innocent heart, a scared teen's foundational years, and a lonely adult's mind trying to make sense of the struggles, the love, and the world around them. The poetry in Memoirs of the Heart elegantly encapsulates the struggle for love – finding oneself, finding a soulmate, losing faith in love, and finding a reason to keep loving. From fears to vulnerability to healing.
