From the poet and author of I Saw You As A Flower, comes another soul-stirring collection of poetry and prose, If Hearts Had Training Wheels. This collection of poetry offers a poignant perspective on regaining balance and finding oneself after abuse, heartache, love, and loss. It also explores the internal conflicts, doubts, and fears that come with transitioning into adulthood-the hardships that ultimately lead to strength, growth, and an unshakable appreciation for life. With original journal entries, hand-crafted illustrations, and snippets from the author's life, Ellen Everett delivers a stunningly authentic and intimate experience for the reader.


In this collection, the author relates maneuvering through life's obstacles to learning how to ride a bike. Ellen Everett places readers on the seat of a bicycle and guides them through a five-part journey, beginning in The Gravel Driveway and ending with The Downhill Coast. Through falls, unexpected turns, and uphill climbs, the reader embarks on this journey of self-discovery with the author, resulting in a powerful transformation of the mind and heart.

Industry Reviews

"A young writer and designer, Ellen Everett's work is mature and fresh. She weaves her dual talents together to take the reader on a journey that is filled with the wisdom normally reserved for those with more years lived and a poignant direct innocence of a twenty something. Her poems and drawings revived memories long packed of my own twenty-something times. I highly recommend Ellen's second volume as a sweet reader at any stage of life."

- Amazon Customer


"First off I love the design of this book. The cover is absolutely gorgeous, as well as the illustrations inside. Ellen's writing helped me open up to my own emotions through her stories and thoughts. This is the perfect book to read alone in bed with a cup of tea and a candle. It is the type of book that you can read over again and get something entirely different out of her words each time. Do yourself a favor and buy this book.â¤ï¸�"

-Abby J


"Most times you read a poem and think of the writer and their experiences/life. This collection in many ways is the same as that belief but also different. A dual purpose! Ellen gives the testimony that is her heart but also resonates with the reader and meets them where they are. We all battle but few of us share it with the world. It's hard to put this poem collection down when you start reading. I urge readers to dive in deep and get a tissue box. Bravo Ellen!"

-Drew Haddock


"It's always difficult to relate with the experiences behind a lot of poems, but somehow Ellen has managed to make it possible to relate with her words. It really is an emotional rollercoaster of a book by a brilliant author. A must read for everyone! P.s, grab a box of tissues as you'll need it."

-Kindle Customer


"This book will bless you with its beautiful intricate vulnerability and honesty. Each line is like a needle sowing a tapestry. You won't regret gaining all this book holds!"

-Lydia Imhoff


"Beautifully written and wonderfully structured. This book had me at the verge of tears a few times!"

-Christian Wharton
