Something that's very hard to learn on your own. This is something about putting yourself first because it's okay to love yourself before anyone else. This is something about doing what's best for you, no matter what people say, because only you know what you deserve. This is something about being real, being real to who you are and accepting things as they come and change. This is something about your mistakes, about your flaws, and about how beautiful it is to get up and try again. This is something about being you, about using your voice when you're afraid. About building enough courage when you feel like standing up to something you don't believe in, something that's wrong. This is about you, and every day should be about you, and that's something you should always consider.

    D. Soul's first collection of poetry and prose. Written for those who have ever wondered what a heart looks like outside of the human body.

    Essentially, this novel is about Sri Lanka and its people. This story is narrated by Sam, an illiterate houseboy born in a village too remote for maps. He travels to the nearby city to work in a river house as a domestic servant. Sam finds momentary happiness in a life muddied by difficult days and painful moments. It is about the tears he shed and the days he wished he could forget, of the people he loved and the others he loved to hate. Reaching across Sri Lanka, this is a story of a country gasping for fresh air in the midst of an unending civil war and the chronic trauma it creates in its people, afflicting every life in every race, leaving none untouched. When it was published, Sam's Story was awarded the prestigious Gratiaen Award in 2001 for the best literary work in English in Sri Lanka. This award is given by the Gratiaen Trust, set up on the initiative of best-selling writer Michael Ondaatje who received the Booker Prize for The English Patient which was later made into an award-winning film.
