Overview:
Growing Brave: Words to Soothe Fear and Let in More Life is a hardback collection of wisdom and poetry from Sunday Times number one bestselling author Donna Ashworth. Written for anyone weighed down by anxiety, self-doubt, or the noise of daily life, these verses gently guide readers towards courage, calm, and self-acceptance. Perfect as a personal treat or thoughtful gift, this book offers a warm, honest companion for anyone learning to face their fears and welcome more joy into everyday living.

About the Book:
In Growing Brave, Donna Ashworth turns her keen eye for the human condition towards fear itself — the quiet anxieties, the comparisons, the moments we hold ourselves back from living fully. Across poems such as "One Day You'll See", "Growing in Moonlight", "The Comparing" and "Always There", Ashworth explores what it means to keep going when the world feels overwhelming, offering permission to feel everything without judgement. Her writing is conversational and deeply empathetic, more like a message from a trusted friend than traditional verse. Rather than offering easy answers, her poems sit with difficult feelings — powerlessness, worry, the fear of not measuring up — before gently steering the reader towards strength and self-belief. The 336-page hardback is designed to be dipped into again and again, whether for a few lines of comfort before bed or a longer read cover to cover. Its themes of resilience, self-compassion and hope suit readers navigating change, uncertainty, or simply looking for encouragement. For fans of modern inspirational poetry, or anyone who found comfort in Ashworth's earlier collections, Growing Brave offers the same honesty, warmth and quiet courage that has made her one of the most shared poets writing today.
