daughter of the burning

About the Book

Amidst the clamor of our world, Brooke Axtell draws us to an ethereal place where her words weave lyrically between promise and pain. She moves in the most intimate spaces with her reader, enticing us to taste and touch our frailty and strength.

Exploring the themes of darkness and light, beauty from ashes, identity and destiny and the soul's quest for the transcendent, she encourages the reader toward the fullness of their design. With prophetic eyes, she sees us. We are left feeling naked but unashamed.
