The poems that dwell within Reflections & Shadows are just that. Reflecting back on the shadows of a life that haunt this strong survivor to this day. Given away to an abusive family by the very people that brought her into this world, the Author had to find an outlet or risk going insane. Having nothing else to turn to, she found her vintage point behind the pen she held in her hand. It was her only release, her only escape from the reality that surrounded her.
Each one of these poems tells a story of either triumph or defeat, creating visual art with her words through all elements of life; strength, betrayal, abandonment, violation, love, sorrow and success. The words that live within the depths of this book are very empowering and humbling as well. Let this survivor’s words of agony and accomplishment etch themselves into your soul. This is truly an inspiring, one of a kind poetry collection and you will never look at life the same after reading it.
