Bruises Without Touch

What if the deepest bruises never leave a mark?
Bruises Without Touch is a soul-stirring poetry collection that traces the quiet strength and sacred journey of a woman who survived emotional abuse, betrayal, and silence and chose to rise anyway.
Divided into four transformative parts, The Breaking, The Becoming, The Rising, and The Loving these poems give voice to the unspoken grief, hidden wounds, and brave rebirths that many women carry silently. With fierce tenderness and lyrical clarity, Shona Claudinah writes for the woman who stayed too long, the one who lost her voice, and the one who is learning to breathe again.
Whether you've lived through heartbreak or are walking the long road to healing, this book will meet you where you are and gently remind you that survival is not weakness, but power.
