The 106-page collection introduces heavily stigmatized topics such as feminism and mental health and delves into how these struggles can impact a person's day-to-day life. The reader embarks on the journey of a wilting rose who begins to thrive despite the hurts inflicted by others and by herself. Imperfect aims to prove that words can save lives and that no one is alone in their struggle. It can be best represented as a gift to anyone looking for reasons to remain resilient; for anyone needing another reason to survive. If a rose can wilt, die, and bloom once again, so can you. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBook Excerpt\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ewhen my soul withered\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eand my heart wept\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eand my mind uprooted\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eit was these words\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ethat nourished my core\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eand birthed a rose\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e in blooming\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBhavana Uppalapati is a 24-year-old chemist by day, avid author by night. Hailing from Ontario, Canada, COVID-19 resulted in a quarantine that forced Bhavana to pick up her pen and sketch the words she bottled in for 23 years. As a strong believer that words can save lives, the 24-year-old author birthed her debut book, imperfect, in 2021. When she's not practicing chemistry or spilling words onto pages, Bhavana enjoys melodious music and walks in the summertime rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 8.5 x 5.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 27, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42161399431303,"sku":"9798587103818","price":21.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/b86bfb8e329d5b6f6820976bda5e19b2.webp?v=1733280833","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/imperfect-a-collection-of-prose-and-poetry-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
