A Palm on a Lake eBook

The collection confronts the experience of womanhood with both tenderness and defiance, threading the stories of legendary women through the gritty abstractions of modern life. Readers will find in these pages an invitation to rely on their innate strength of character and follow their hearts in the face of injustice and a reminder of the enduring power of the pen.

From the poem "A Lady in Her Tower," Krystal Reeser writes: "Words ignite and verses refine / So that justice begins to shine / A poem that blooms / Petal by petal and page by page."

"I wrote this collection in less than a month as a record and a reconciliation of my own story," says Reeser. "I want every woman to find her footing, to not have to feel as awkward as a palm mistakenly supplanted on a lake and I hope something can bloom from these pages into a new beginning for any reader who needs the courage to keep dreaming."
