International best-selling author Ruby Dhal releases her 5th book of prose and bitesize self-help, and her most unique book till date. 'Between us' is a bridge between the old and the new, it is a journey taken by the 21-year-old girl with fresh wounds of heartache towards the 26-year-old woman who crossed miles of growth and still found herself hurting all over again.
In this book, Ruby teaches her readers about loving, getting hurt, and healing and how --even after coming so far from who you once were- losing yourself and those that you love is an essential part of life. It is a part of life that you will face repeatedly until you can accept that true happiness is in letting go. True happiness is in accepting the contingency of relationships but still loving them with all your heart. 'Between us' is a book about growth, love and self-discovery. It is a book about grief, mental health, and healing. It is a story about a young girl who journeyed to the corners of her soul to find happiness again and the woman who loved, lost, and forgave in order to unite her past with her present.
'Between us' is the story of every person who has ever lost pieces of their heart in others and wishes to find hope in the journey called life again.
Hope is found in wishes made upon shooting stars, so a handful of stars gives us faith.
A Handful of Stars is a journey of courage and resilience that readers take from falling to healing, realising along the way that the journey is not going to be easy.
The book branches over various themes from love, heartbreak, loss and womanhood to self-love, revival and healing.
Readers learn about the beauty and innocence of falling and they learn that healing is not a destination but a process, and this process can often last a lifetime. The book teaches that a person’s softness is their biggest strength and that having a big heart is not always a bad thing, and a glimmer of light can be found even in the darkest places.
A Handful of Stars is raw and unapologetic, soft and kind, reflective and inspirational all at the same time. Some of Ruby’s most loved poems are shared within the pages of this book, in hope that they will have the same effect on the readers the second time as they did the first.
Memories Unwound is a collection of free verse poems and prose that tap into the thoughts, feelings and ideas of the author. Each piece aims to go beyond just words and reveal an emotion; love, pain or happiness and by the end of it, the prospect of attaining solace. The author uses ‘memories’ as a title to emphasise that it is universally relatable – as readers should find at least one (or more) piece(s) that reminds them of a previous experience that they have had/ emotion that they have felt, hence becoming a ‘memory’ that is unwound in this book.
Each piece aims to fuel the realisation of sentiments that fabricate our very being, and by the end of the book readers are shown the possibility of hope, redemption, closing ‘old chapters’ and moving on to make new memories.
