This book is a collection of stories and poems that were the key to creating a complete person. Some broken, some healed, some in the process of healing. Raga has lived an unconventional life, so of course when she decided to write a book she created her own unconventional format ‘storyoems’ – stories that segue seamlessly into poems. Emotional and poignant, untold lies is about a little girls journey to the truth that not only saves her but gives the reader hope. For don’t we all have a little girl in us, confined by the labels given to us by others? This relatable and courageous book is for anyone who has experienced the fear of being judged or of being unloved for being themselves. The poems express the various emotions that one goes through in life. There are many observational poems on everyday life. There are poems on heartbreak, the pain of the broken pieces and the hurt that lingers on. However, each poem is full of hope and that is what I would like to leave with the readers.
