The Girl Who Walked on Water

The Girl Who Walked on Water, Rishika Cheela's first book, explores themes of inner struggles, world problems, and growing up through verse. Through oceans, mirrors, girlhood, memory, and survival, these not-so-picturesque poems delve into the messiness of life and of our world. The author writes about identity, family, selfhood, loneliness, and the unspoken problems around us. Raw, reflective, and deeply personal, this collection is for anyone who has ever felt too much and said too little. "and then I'm drowning, drowning in a twenty feet pool that spans downward for forever. I wake up now, but I'm still trapped in that pool, seeing people I love stand above me, hold out hands for me and I'm so close, but I can't reach and I'm drowning and drowning in my insanity, all wrapped in a little red bow." -The Girl Who Walked on Water
