Poems of pain and forgiveness, for those who struggle to find healing from a childhood marked by addiction To Shatter Glass&nbsp;is essentially a memoir in poetic form, tracing seventy years of struggle and experience. In her early thirties, at the end of an abusive and childless marriage, Sister Sharon Hunter entered a modern convent. Neither sheltered nor immune from reality, she confronted demons of the past and trauma brought with her, unresolved and in need of healing. Her collection obliterates a common belief that men and women enter religious orders to escape life. Its fifty-six poems vary in style and capture the heart and imagination of those searching for straight&nbsp;answers to difficult questions. It touches on the need to know ourselves, to accept our humanity as defined by God, and to strive toward reconciliation through self-examination and forgiveness.&nbsp; To Shatter Glass&nbsp;is an invitation to wholeness for those scarred by family alcoholism.&nbsp;It is written for the quiet and sensitive buried by depression, and for those who may be too afraid to expose their wounds.&nbsp;It is for anyone who has experienced betrayal or the loss of a loved one through tragic circumstances.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is the first book in Paraclete's Iron Pen imprint.&nbsp;In the book of Job, a suffering man pours out his anguish to his Maker. From the depths of his pain, he reveals a trust in God's goodness that is stronger than his despair, giving humanity some of the most beautiful and poetic verses of all time. Paraclete's Iron Pen imprint is inspired by this spirit of unvarnished honesty and tenacious hope.
