“Wearing My Mother’s Heart” is a collection of poems about Sophia Thakur’s love for her mother and grandmothers. Some poems are very short and others are long, but all of them are beautiful. Some are written from the point of view of her family members and many are from Thakur herself. Topics range from family life to politics to religion and give you an emotional glimpse into Thakur’s life and what her family has been through. Written for ages 14 and up, this is a recommended purchase where poetry is popular.
