Naked Tree

Naked Tree book is a collection of 100 raw, visceral, and emotionally-charged poems depicting the author's arduous journey growing up in a highly patriarchal environment, where boys were idealized, and girls marginalized. Her experience with this double standard was carried through many of her relationships, including her marriage.
The poems unravel complex emotions of shame, betrayal, loneliness, confusion, defeat, love, heartbreak, and the occasional triumphs.
The catalyst for Nadia's feminist views was when she lost her only childhood friend to an arranged marriage at age eleven. Things had to be different for herself, but that hasn't been easy.
