About this title

Synopsis

Hope is found in wishes made upon shooting stars, so a handful of stars gives us faith.

A Handful of Stars is a journey of courage and resilience that readers take from falling to healing, realising along the way that the journey is not going to be easy.

The book branches over various themes from love, heartbreak, loss, and womanhood to self-love, revival, and healing.

Readers learn about the beauty and innocence of falling and they learn that the healing is not a destination but a process, and this process can often last a lifetime. The book teaches that a person’s softness is their biggest strength and that having a big heart is not always a bad thing and that a glimmer of light can be found in the darkest places.

A Handful of Stars is raw and unapologetic, soft and kind, reflective and inspirational all at the same time. Some of Ruby’s most loved poems are shared within the pages of this book, in hope that they will have the same effect on readers the second time as they did the first.

About the Author

Ruby Dhal is a poetess, fiction-writer and bestselling author of two poetry books with a goofy laugh, a powerful and opinionated voice, a constant habit of tripping and falling over furniture and two degrees in Philosophy. After losing her mother at the tender age of 4, Ruby turned to books as a form of escapism. Spending several years reading about story-worlds led Ruby to pick up a pen and create a world of her own. Ruby's life-affirming poems about love, heartbreak and healing are deeply appreciated by a generous readership on Instagram. Ruby has written articles for various online magazines and she was one of only 7 South-Asian women writers in the world to be featured in the Harper's Bazaar Writer Hotlist in 2017. Ruby was brought up and resides in London and is presently writing her debut novel which she hopes will break down the negative impact of cultural identification.
