FROM THE HEART is Released

Renée Christine Harp marks her literary debut with the release of her first book, "From the Heart" (published by Xlibris). This work features 25 handmade silver heart sculptures accompanied by a unique story that offers snapshots of the author's journey through life, loss and love. Each shared experience is poured out poignantly in the form of a letter and answered with the wisdom of the heart.

"From the Heart" is a collection of personal stories and letters charting the author's life from childhood to the present. Each letter reaches out a person who has impacted her in a specific way. This book combines insight drawn from Harp's experience as a therapist and her passion for the arts and creative pursuits. The author is a thoughtful, evocative and touching narrator who deftly uses language and art to explore the nuances of life and love.

These are stories that celebrate the depth and diversity of human experience. These are stories told "From the Heart."

"Everyone longs for love, connection and meaningful relationships and everyone has risked, lost, been hurt, and struggled to recover," Harp says. "As a psychotherapist, I have spent my life finding the words for inner experiences. My readers will find something that describes their experience and they will find hope for the journey."
