Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the age of six I was criminally violated. I wouldn't speak of this horror for decades, but lived it out daily in my demeanor and later through my poems. This book of poems chronicles my journey from that point. Organizing it was absolutely catharsis. I literally wept as I proofread many of the pieces because they brought back many painful memories. I begin with a piece entitled, "Mosaic" and end with a piece entitled "Promise." They represent my death and ultimate rebirth. Today I am evolving and redefining myself. With this book I am shaking off the shackles of self-doubt, others perception of who I am and am reclaiming my unique voice. I am capable and worthy of success. Publication of this book declares that. Poetically, I want to establish myself as a writer committed to the craft, beauty and unique attributes of the genre. I also want to establish myself as an author who is passionate about encouraging others to pursue their dreams. Marianne Williamson's assertion that, "....as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others" is my mantra and calling.
