Book Review: Healing Is a Gift: Poems for Those Who Need to Grow by Alexandra Vasiliu

Every so often, a book finds its way into your life when you need it most. Healing Is a Gift: Poems for Those Who Need to Grow by Alexandra Vasiliu was that book for me. As I navigated through my own trials—heartbreak, self-doubt, and a yearning for inner peace—I stumbled upon this collection of empowering poems, and I can wholeheartedly say it felt as though the author was speaking directly to my soul.

Vasiliu’s writing is a balm for the weary heart. The collection dives deep into themes that resonate universally: love, loss, trauma, and the powerful journey of healing. Her ability to articulate what felt like my own internal struggles evoked a strong emotional response. Each poem is a gentle reminder that healing is not just an endpoint but a gift that we give ourselves. The promise of personal transformation is woven throughout her verses, encouraging reflection and growth.

The writing style feels incredibly accessible yet beautifully poignant. Vasiliu employs free verse, which allows her thoughts to flow naturally and lets the reader connect with them personally. Each poem reads like a conversation with a trusted friend—inviting, warm, and incredibly validating. I found myself nodding along as though each line was echoing my own sentiments. Lines like, "You give the greatest gift to your precious self when you start mending your heart’s wounds," struck a chord with me; they encapsulate the essence of the collection.

One testimonial that lingered in my mind came from a reader who expressed how they felt less alone after engaging with the words. This sentiment resonates so deeply—Vasiliu doesn’t just share her experiences; she creates a shared space for healing, urging her readers to embark on their journeys with courage and self-love.

Notably, poems like “I Will Do My Best” offer practical strategies for self-affirmation, reminding us that we are enough just as we are, even on days when we feel like we aren’t. It’s a collection that not only fosters introspection but also offers actionable advice, making it a versatile read for anyone feeling overwhelmed or anxious.

Frankly, I believe Healing Is a Gift would make an exceptional gift for anyone—in transition, grappling with personal challenges, or simply seeking a little light in their lives. Mothers, friends, graduates, or anyone navigating the tumultuous waters of growth will find solace in this book’s pages.
