DESCRIPTION
Hesitations is a book of poetry and reflections that captures the journey of the author, Sheena Graham, as she breaks the cycle of hesitating. Her father spent his life wondering if his hesitation had cost his mom her life. The words he spoke as he lay on his deathbed made Sheena wonder about the role hesitating played in her own life. It was larger than she imagined. Divided into six chapters, "Hesitations" is the first step in her journey towards healing. Being in a constant state of hesitancy and pausing before deciding, acting, or choosing anything is draining. The included pieces range her struggles from age thirteen to the present and are not in any special order because, on any given day, they may represent a current struggle. She is still a work in progress who realizes owning her emotions is the only way she will ever move forward.
