About the author

Have you ever read a book that reached down into your soul and took your hurt and crushed it so your pain was gone? This book is one that delivers powerful words of a time where all the author felt was pain. Her struggle to survive is felt through every word written. So many people are out there asking for help, a hug or just a smile . I loved how the author took a subject like suicide and depression and brought it to the surface for everyone to understand. It is not easy to overcome a painful emotional trauma in your life, but with the authors' words, you can feel healing and hope .

I'm glad I had the honor to read this inspiring book. It definitely hit home and has encouraged me to keep going and not give up. For anyone out there who struggles with depression, suicide, low self esteem or lonliness , this book is a must read. The book is honest and shares how one person who was at the darkest moment in their life found a way to believe they were valued and loved. Thank you for writing a book that truly is a story of hope, survival and healing.

sometimes you have to go back to move forward.

Like all poetry, this book is meant to be a short read. what I didn't expect was to feel everything. These poems touched me down deep in my soul. It's everything I used to feel and still do. We may be broken, but we're still here. I know I'll be reading this again and again
