Growing Brave

Donna Ashworth

FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES NO.1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WILD HOPE

‘Powerful and comforting … Donna’s words could change your life.’ DAWN FRENCH

‘Absolutely beautiful … whenever I’m feeling lost, I reach for Donna Ashworth’s words and feel found.’ BRYONY GORDON

‘Some people have the Bible by their bed. Others a self-help manual. I have Donna Ashworth.’ SUSANNAH CONSTANTINE

In this powerful new collection of wisdom and poetry, Donna Ashworth helps us to find strength and courage on the days we feel lost, to pick ourselves up when times are hard, to soothe fear and self-doubt when we are in their grip, and to let in more life and love as we brave our challenges.

Every day we are bombarded by thoughts, feelings and information that make us feel anxious and afraid. We worry we don’t measure up, we are scared of failure and we find it hard to be ourselves. We also feel powerless watching the world getting messier. Fear is a limiting factor for many of us and if we don’t challenge it we can find ourselves keeping out more of the good stuff in life than the bad.

With poems such as ‘One Day You’ll See’, ‘Growing in Moonlight’, ‘The Comparing’ and ‘Always There’, bestselling author Donna Ashworth helps us to see that whatever we are facing, no matter how small or afraid we feel, we make the biggest difference in this world and to our own happiness when we are brave enough to show up as ourselves.

Donna Ashworth

Donna Ashworth is a Sunday Times bestselling author and the UK’s no.1 bestselling poet. She lives in the hills of Scotland with her husband, two sons, Brian and Dave (the dogs) and Sheldon (the cat). Donna started her social media accounts in 2018 in a bid to create a ‘safe’ social space for women to come together and connect, but her love of all things wordy quickly became the focus, and a past love for poetry was reignited. Seven books and nearly 1.8 million followers later, Donna is delighted daily with her mission to shower the world with words and bring poetry back into focus.

‘I believe wholeheartedly in the power of opening a daily poetry page to better everyone’s mental health and clear space within our minds. Poetry is permission to feel everything we as humans are absolutely supposed to, knowing we are not alone, never alone. Poetry is not folly for the fancy; it is using words to shift perspectives, heal wounds and let in light again. And it is something we can pass to one another when times become turbulent, as they so often will.’

Donna’s bestselling books include Wild Hope, I Wish I Knew, Love, Loss, Life and To the Women.
