A powerful first step into the greater plain of publishing, Roots (Or, This May Be Where I Came From) is Lissette Lendeborg's introduction to the world. If anything, this collection is a close look into the inner workings of a young lady on a journey of growth and self-discovery. These poems are tellings of a coming of age. As if, in the middle of a story, you could pluck out the character and relate to their experience on a deeper level.

With topics such as romance, heartbreak, faith, depression, sexuality, these poems are an intimate portrayal of the speaker on her journey to adulthood.
