Sharing is caring!

An excellent book is transcendental. It has the ability to allow readers and thinkers to delve into someone else’s world. It exposes one’s unique story and somehow contributes to the history of the world. That is how we find Shadowed Truths.

The writers’ knack on words and proses can transform the mood into classic literature. Charlene Tinaza and Kim Derla released their creativity through their words in storytelling and poetry.

One can relate as it unfolds the undisclosed experiences of being in grief and its various phases thereof.

People from different walks of life experience different emotions to a certain degree. Most of them lack the ability to transform their emotions into words. Shadowed Truths is an exemplary of how an individual uncover the most profound feelings and how to deal with it.

The writers were able to produce a masterpiece infused with depth and turned their experiences into something beautiful. The writing style in the book is imbued with simplicity. It’s a story of heartbreaks and moving on process that could be appreciated across generations.

The book’s structure and organization are very effective in conveying the pain and victory. In between short life’s stories are short poems that paint the stories with more vivid colours.

What makes Shadowed Truths a treasure is how it exudes serenity after every struggle. It can make someone thirst for more words and ideas. You go through pages until unknowingly, you are on the last page.

The theme of the book discusses the current psychological phenomenon of mental and emotional health. It has narrated major stages of emotional peaks and troughs and how one has personally overcome it.

There was a clear articulation of agony and winning. Charlene narrated how a single aspect of our life can build or destroy our whole persona.

Shadowed Truths is an effective source of comfort for those who are experiencing intense emotional upheavals at the moment. Each poem addresses specific challenges and moments in which one could find a haven.

Everyone goes through different turmoil. Everyone has a story to tell. And the common objective is to search for stories people could relate to and how life’s battles are being conquered. After the seemingly uncertain battle, the book has restored the faith through the hopes that are fundamentally embedded in all the poems.

Shadowed Truths is a classic piece for every literature enthusiast, poets by heart, storytellers. Most notably, the book is for those who would like to find rest in the midst of war. It is a no ordinary life story.

A book for a cause…

You can grab a copy of the book at the most affordable price. With its economical price, the book is a soul investment. Every book you buy, is guaranteed to touch one’s life.

The proceeds would benefit people-oriented community projects organised by writers’ chosen foundation. Charlene Tinaza has vouched to pay forward and help the Rotaract Club of Makati raise funds for their projects.

The support that will be gathered for this book could cast a wide safety net to the people who are most in need. It would provide relief to the beneficiaries and could inspire them to reignite their faith in life and spark some hope in their forgotten dreams.

Every act of deed given transforms into a community of hearts enliven.
