Anna Dahland

Have you ever met a person who felt like HOME?

This book asks the timeless questions,

“Do we have to be perfect to help someone?”

“Do we have to be perfect to be loved?”

In this memoir from 1990s Korea, follow Anna and Heejong as they declare themselves mother and daughter, then fight the system that threatens to tear them apart.

In the tradition of “mental health poetry,” this brief book explores the journey from self-isolation and doubt to healing, companionship and community.

This poetry is for anyone who loves deeply, feels compassion for others, and yearns for deep connections.

It is for those who have been hurt but continue to hope for loving relationships and a more just world.
