Ducks on a Pond, Poetry from the Soul of a Black Woman takes us on a journey through the eyes and hearts of black women. A journey that pulls at the roots of our being, our culture, and our "nevergiveuptudeness." Using poetry to create the narrative, the author divides the story into four categories: Soul, Healed, Loved, and Repaired. The author focuses on prose that signifies pain, redemption, fear, heartbreak, and love. You're guaranteed to laugh, cry, and, more importantly, see yourself in the stories that take you on a journey to a position of healing.

"Often, black women silently carry pain and despair, knowing there's rarely anyone fighting for us, attentive to us, or encouraging us. We carry the stain of our ancestors who fought just to be seen, yet, still, none see us."- Melissa Holder
