Reviews"This is for anyone who doesn't see deep feeling as a bad thing but would appreciate a warm and talented companion while they do it." --Mari Andrew, New York Times bestselling author of Am I There Yet? "What I love about Make Believe is the way it brings forth a sense of possibility, both for where we are and where we can go. It's an invitation for dreaming of what the world could be." --Morgan Harper Nichols, author and artist "A sparkling, riveting gut punch." --Lyndsay Rush, USA Today bestselling author of A Bit Much, "For anyone in search of wonder, hope, or just an understanding voice, Make Believe is a heartfelt exploration of the human experience." --Whitney Hanson, bestselling author of Home and Harmony "The world is so blessed that Victoria Hutchins chose a creativity-driven life for herself, because her first book is so clearly born from someone who thinks, believes, feels, remembers, dreams, and alchemizes creatively. In her tender, mesmerizing collection, Hutchins blends verse and storytelling into an art that will satisfy both poetry purists and those who hesitate to pick up a poetry book. Hutchins tightly holds the reader's hand as she goes into the dark to explore painful subjects, then gives them a bright lantern on their way out. This stunning debut is for anyone who doesn't see deep feeling as a bad thing but would appreciate a warm and talented companion while they do it." --Mari Andrew, New York Times bestselling author of Am I There Yet and My Inner Sky "What I love about Make Believe by Victoria Hutchins is the way it brings forth a sense of possibility, both for where we are and where we can go. It's an invitation for both reflection and hope as we journey through life's many cycles, dreaming of what the world could be. I love how, through both verse and prose, this collection captures those highs and lows, and it acknowledges courage amid fear. It's warm and reassuring, and provides a chance to pause and find meaning in a fast-paced world. Poignant, imaginative, and healing, this work is a timely reminder of life's wholeness. There's a rhythm to this book I quite like, a rhythm that reminds me of the rhythms of life." --Morgan Harper Nichols, author and artist "A sparkling, riveting gut punch." --Lyndsay Rush, USA Today bestselling author of A Bit Much " Make Believe is the book that both my inner child and my adult self needed to read. When they say that the poets will change the world, this is exactly what they meant. Hutchins writes in such a way that you truly feel as though you are hearing from a dear friend. And that is just what this collection is--a sacred friend to all who need it." --Brianna Pastor, author of Good Grief
