Unmasking the Prodigal Daughter

With tenderness and grace, Heidi's poems speak to those who have felt rejected—by parents and by the church—and to those seeking to break intergenerational cycles. She writes from the position of someone who has been a prodigal daughter herself. As a reader, that comes through clearly, as her writing is compassionate while incisive. There is no judgement here, only acceptance, but also no excusing of harm. The way she balances all this with such delicacy is truly skillful. I'm glad this book is in the world.
