One of the most extraordinary facets in the life of an artist is their purging process - their individual boldness to transcend how they feel beyond their fear. For some, this process comes easy. For others, the course is smothered in distractions. Painful pitfalls and pointless pit stops become diversions on one's quest to self-acceptance, self-worth, and self-discovery. "The Petals of Nora Rose" is a compilation of introspective essays aimed to inspire the reader to reflect on who they are and the possibilities of achieving who they aspire to become. Author Tamra Sease challenges her audience, as well as herself, to silent the sound of insecurity, awaken the pulse of creativity, and embrace the liberty of individuality.
