Synopsis

Our life purpose is often found at the intersection of who we are, our most compelling convictions, and the roles that we serve. In this book, A Journey of Life On PURPOSE, author Avril Somerville tackles, through poetry and essays, the intersectionality of creativity, womanhood, sisterhood, race, motherhood, activism, and identity politics. It is an empowering, inspiring, and candid memoir of one woman's journey of intentionality to find her ultimate place and purpose in life.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Avril Somerville combines the spiritual and literary in ways that are intelligent, yet accessible. Her convictions and empathies on heart matters such as romantic and community love, sisterhood, parenting; on more intimate matters such as mother and daughter love, and yearning; and, on largely political and social constructs such as race, perception, and identity, are woven seamlessly through expositions in essay and poetry, making the total body of work a universal and transcendent one.
