    Milk and Honey is a collection of poetry and prose about survival. It is about the experience of violence, abuse, love, loss, and femininity. It is split into four chapters, and each chapter serves a different purpose, deals with a different pain, heals a different heartache. milk and honey takes readers through a journey of the most bitter moments in life and finds sweetness in them because there is sweetness everywhere if you are just willing to look.

   This book will surely hit your heart and will make you think of things in life that we people always took for granted. This is a very feminist book (for me) and I think that is what really molded the identity of this book. It is not to that quality of Faudets' and Leavs' pieces but this one, by Kaur, is making it's own identity, it's own style. This book will inspire reader to "keep going" . There will be stages in life-- in love--- that will challenge us or test us and this book tells the story of an individual who dipped herself into those tests and rise above them with strength and dignity. The poems in the book will move the readers. The piece is very realistic and readers can easily relate to the contents. A must read for people who wants to be inspired by words and keep moving on in life that is full of unfathomable circumstances.
