Every sunflower seed can grow into a new flower.

Like love overcoming trauma, self-worth emerging from self-doubt, or a new purpose stumbled upon after an identity crisis; each sunflower seed will bloom and grow.

It will eventually be reborn with enough care and nurturing if you bury it deep enough.

Seeds of a Sunflower is a thought-provoking, raw collection of autobiographical poems that will break your heart and piece it back together, petal by petal, leaf by leaf, existing parasites and thorns included.

By exposing this vulnerable, private side of her, Andrea Conn tackles the shame and stigma society associates with trauma, loss, paralyzing fear, and imperfection. Her struggles with PTSD, infertility, and personal identity—a daily relatable battle that countless people face—illuminate the slow, painful path to inner strength and self-love.

The sunflower will stand tall again. The phoenix will rise from its ashes. The wounds will fade into scars.

You won’t forget how long it took you to heal, how much recovery resembled heartbreak, and how it hurt to grow again.

Because you are worth more than you can imagine!
