Naked Truth

by Jordan Sarah Weatherhead, Shawn Rode (Photographer)

Open the pages to 'Naked Truth' and you'll find yourself entering the mind of a young woman who sees the world similar to how each and everyone of you do, but explains it differently and intensely. Through the art of rhyming and poetry Jordan Sarah Weatherhead writes about things from timeless issues that affect everyone, such as love, discrimination, and self-discovery, up to things that are current or may only reach out to a certain audience, such as the war in Iraq, drinking, and sex. At times "Naked Truth" becomes dark and ominous, while remaining raw and real. This book offers a wide variety of poems which offer hope and encouragement. Whether it's a chapter about magic and myth or travel and nature or even deployment and long distance love, Weatherhead stays brutally honest and vividly descriptive, from beginning to end. No matter the chapter you'll find her poetry easy to read and even more so, easy to relate to. So open the cover and dive into a world where everyday life and challenges are explained in a way you've never heard before. Enter a world where no matter how low or down you may be in your life, you are not alone. There is always a brightness leaking under the door of a dark room. Always a perfect streaked arch ready to paint the sky after the clouds are done crying, and, things no matter how bad they get, will always get better. And this book will prove that.

Good poetry, but wasn't exactly what I had expected after seeing quotes from Facebook and Pinterest. The book also had a lot of spelling mistakes.
