The Pink Star (Becoming in Pieces) is not just a book.
It is a quiet room. A soft sigh. A warm mirror.
It was written for the ones who smile with a thousand cracks beneath.
The ones who grew up too fast. Who've loved too deeply and lost silently.
The ones who hold everyone else together but find it hard to hold themselves.
If you've ever wondered where your softness went,
if you've ever questioned your enough-ness,
if you've ever longed to be seen - this book is for you.
Told in a poetic, deeply emotional style, The Pink Star opens its heart like a series of handwritten letters and reflections. These are the pieces of Patricia Kpogoh - a woman raised by a single mother, shaped by abandonment, strengthened by sibling bonds, and cracked open by failed relationships. Her story is both unique and familiar - a mirror for many.
She doesn't just write from memory.
She writes from every woman who's ever felt too much, stayed too long, or never felt like enough.
As a midwife and school nurse, Patricia has cared for the body.
But in this book, she turns inward to care for the soul - not with prescriptions, but with poems and pauses, with affirmations and truths that sting before they soothe.
She knows what it means to nurture others while trying to find home within yourself. She's walked with mothers, students, and strangers - but The Pink Star is the journey she took with herself.
"In every piece I broke, I found a piece of light. Becoming hurt. Becoming healing. Becoming her."
Written with raw tenderness and gentle honesty, The Pink Star (Becoming in Pieces) becomes a sanctuary - especially for the woman who was told to be strong before she was ever allowed to feel.
It holds space for the woman who learned to shrink to be loved.
The one who became quiet, even when her heart had volumes to speak.
It speaks deeply to the African woman's experience, yet its heartbeat is universal - resonating with anyone who longs to be held, heard, and whole.
This is for the daughters who are tired of saving everyone but themselves.
This is for the ones who want to stop performing and start becoming.
This is for the ones who want to be held - even if it's by words.
Within each chapter, you'll find not just poetic storytelling, but personalized quotes, soul-whispers, and guided reflections. Each section closes with questions that feel like mirrors - and affirmations that feel like balm.
This isn't about becoming someone new.
It's about remembering who you were before the world made you forget.
It's not a book you just read.
It's a book you rest in.
It's a book you return to - on hard days, quiet nights, and the moments you need to feel seen.
From one becoming heart to another - Patricia wrote this for you.
"The Pink Star will not fix you. It will meet you. It will hold you. It will remind you that you were never broken - just becoming."
