The Rescue

From the soul, heart, mind, body and spirit of Lillian Haugland, also known as Orkidedatter, The Rescue - from the eyes of a bleeding child - is a collection of dark poetry inspired by the author’s childhood.

The author's crossing points of the physical, psychological and the imagination are anchored inside this book. Mental health is close to Lillian's heart, and writing has been one of her methods for overcoming her demons during the darkest moments in her life.

To communicate that you are not alone in fighting bad memories is the soulful purpose of this collection of poems. Do not be afraid to face your worst fears, dive into your mind, and face what you are experiencing with an open heart. It's not easy, but take a deep breath, breathe and listen to your body. You can be surprised by how strong you are.

Read with your eyes, listen with your heart and feel with your mind, and join in on a therapeutic rise from the fire in the abyss, to have a will to live a life with your head over the surface. Become the phoenix rising from the ashes.
