Growing Pains

By Danielle Holian

From the author of Beautifully Chaotic, The Dilemma, and Surviving You comes Danielle Holian's most powerful work to date.

Growing Pains is Danielle Holian's most personal poetry collection to date, tracing the emotional arc of a half-decade abusive relationship: from the initial hope and intensity of early love, through patterns of control and emotional harm, to the disorienting aftermath and the long process of reclaiming the self.

Structured into five evocative sections, Honeymoon, Handcuffs, Hangover, Hindsight, and Homecoming, each poem captures a moment in time: a heartbeat, a memory, a reflection of what it means to be lost within another person and, ultimately, to find your way back.

This collection serves as both testimony and map, documenting the journey from emotional entanglement to clarity, healing, and identity. Raw, reflective, and deeply human, Growing Pains explores the fragility of love, the weight of silence, and the strength it takes to begin again.
