In this first of my books of poetry, I have attempted to choose poems of love and misery, joy and sadness, lightheartedness and deep darkness, taking the reader through ventures of my childhood, motherhood, and finally my struggle with emotional illness. Some of these poems are fictitious; others deeply personal, sending a message that only the reader can interpret with her own identification and emotion. Divided into three chapters, the book begins my story from the untroubled perspective,progressing on to the difficult and distressing times of my life. It is hoped that, as with any form of art, the viewer can discern these thoughts with the color and life of his own imagination.
