This book is a collection of verse, but not the cheerful verse of glad hearts at rest. These anonymous writers have one thing in common–grievous experiences that left them feeling robbed, defiled, and crushed, crying for help. Life went on, but with tears and struggle, fears and insecurities.

But beyond the ashes and sorrows, they found Christ, and in Him a hope, a sweet and healing grace. Their testimonies are the fragrance of Christ, offered here to comfort and encourage other suffering souls.
