The book will be launched by lawyer/mediator and musician (Suldusk) Emily Highfield, who will play a few acoustic songs in English and Greek, and will then join Koraly in-conversation after Koraly performs a set of her trailblazing poetry before heading overseas. This collection is poetry about emotional and physical abuse and the different ways a person can experience it and overcome it.
