EVERLAST

Who said you can't love until the right one comes along?

Everlast is a collection of poetry and personal reflections spanning more than twenty years of Amanda Rhiannon's life. Through poems written during childhood crushes, first love, heartbreak, hope, and the beginnings of healing, the collection follows a young girl as she grows, loves deeply, loses pieces of herself, and begins to understand the woman she is becoming.

Interwoven throughout are "Pressed Flower" memories-personal moments from childhood and adulthood that reveal the imagination, experiences, and creative spark that shaped Amanda's journey as a writer. Together, the poetry and memories create an intimate portrait of growing up, holding on, letting go, and finding new meaning in the person you once were.

Divided into three parts-Where the Wild Began, The Darkness Between the Stars, and Where the Wildflowers Sleep-Everlast is for anyone who has ever loved deeply, carried old versions of themselves forward, or wondered how much of the past must be released in order to grow.

The first book in a three-part poetry memoir, Everlast begins a journey through love, loss, creativity, and the slow return to oneself-a journey that continues beyond the wildflowers.
