The artistry of Questions for Ada defies words, embodying the pain, the passion, and the power of love rising from the depths of our souls.

From lyrical lushness to smoky sensuality to raw truths, this tome of transforming verse is the book every woman wants to write but can’t until the broken mirrors of their lives have healed.
