after-words

after-words

by Charlotte Pearl



Poems that make up a life.



One night, in the disguise of darkness, a mother and daughter flee the threat

of the man who should love them; swapping home for safety and new beginnings.

Escape, love, loss, self awareness and survival. In short. Living.



Through a series of notes, poems and illustrations, 'after-words,' by Charlotte Pearl, is a story of  the  journey from childhood to adulthood whilst  finding one's place in the world.

Complete with scribble pages to write down thoughts that rise up: after-words.



You were born with

stardust in your soul

and love in your heart

to light up the world.



-Charlotte Pearl
