The Garden of Eden, considered to be mythological by most scholars, exists all around us as we travel through life, but so too does the serpent that caused our expulsion from paradise and follows wherever we go, rearing its evil head, poisoning our souls, stealing our innocence and self-worth, slaying our hearts and violating and abusing our bodies.For all those whose joy has been choked in its tightly coiled grip, all who have suffered pain and abuse, all who have lost sight of the paradise we live in and the peace it holds, this book offers a roadmap; a way back to that not so mythical place that can only be found when we free ourselves from the grasp of the snake and shut out the whispers of its forked tongue.As the poet John Milton wrote in Paradise Lost, Long is the way and hard, that out of Hell leads up to the Light. Let Trishann’s poetic observations and introspective journey help guide you on your way.
