Inheritance- Inheritance of Fire

Inheritance of Fire traces the lineage of pain and resilience across three generations of Iranian women, a grandmother silenced by tradition, a mother trapped between rebellion and duty, and a daughter who dares to rewrite the story.With lyrical grace and searing honesty, Roxana Sheidaie gives voice to what was buried: the trauma inherited, the secrets swallowed, the freedom longed for. These poems speak to the struggles of womanhood under patriarchy, the ache of exile, and the generational toll of silence.But more than anything, Inheritance of Fire is a book about breaking cycles. About daughters who rise. About women who remember and resist. About the birth of a new legacy, fierce, unflinching, and free.For readers of Rupi Kaur, Nayyirah Waheed, and Warsan Shire, this is a collection that will stay with you long after the final page."They tried to pass me the ashes I built a flame instead."
