This book brings together poetry, prose, paintings and photographs created by 32 people from all over the world.Half of the creatives who have generously provided their work are refugees, waiting to find a place to call home. The rest are friends and supporters of refugees, raising awareness of the refugee crisis, campaigning for justice for everyone who has fled their home and providing practical help in a variety of ways.All the money raised from the sale of this book will be donated to the charity Phone Credit for Refugees.

All proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to The Miscarriage Association to help in their work supporting families. This book is both my story and my song. It is the story of my babies who died before they were born; it is my song of healing and hope in grief, given as a gift to others. It is not a diary or an autobiography of my experience; rather it is a collection of poems and prose which I have written over the years in memory of my four baby boys and in the journey of grief which I have travelled. They were written as a form of healing and they are given now in the hope that they might help the healing of those who read them. I am a mum of angels; We are many in number; We are never alone. Emma

1 in 4 people in the UK are affected by mental illness. Someone you know will be living with a mental illness, in fact many of the people you know. You might not know they are living with it, they might never want to talk about it, but it will be impacting their life to some extent every day. Emma is one of the 1 in 4. She has survived many depressive episodes, lives in recovery from an eating disorder and suffers periods of anxiety. This book contains 27 poems selected from the hundreds she has written which tackle the issues of mental health. These poems, as well as the many others which she has and continues to write can be found on her blog www.llmcalling.blogspot.com
