WHAT'S LEFT - Poems of Heartbreak, Loss and Mourning

After the unexpected loss of her oldest son, Carma Haley Shoemaker was immediately dealt a second blow when her estranged husband filed for divorce. She felt overwhelmed with emotions and didn't know what to do with them, how to deal with them, or where to express them.
She decided to turn to what she knew - Writing.

What's Left is Carma's first ever collections of poetry shared with the public. While she has been writing poetry since grade school, she has only shared a dozen (or so). Now, she has opened her heart and soul to allow you to see and feel her love for her son, as well as her pain, loss, and grief.

[Dan Bower · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very beautifully written. The art work is well done and matches the intensity of her poems perfectly. Well worth the buy as it’s already become one of my favorite reads. Each time I pick it up a find new depth and meaning in her words.
