This is a powerful book of prose and poetry! Real life issues, real life wisdom's, and emotions! This book will grab a hold of you and will not let go! If you have gone through difficult times, or are going through them, this book may help you through those difficult times! Antoinette was our 2007 poetry contest winner, with hundreds of poems entered. The power of emotion is what swayed the judges! One of the most emotionally packed and powerful books of prose and poetry I have had the pleasure of reading!-Ken Cowle Editor
