About this ebook
Weaving raw emotion and honest self-assessment, the poet allows us a glimpse into her life. Sometimes what seems to be a mundane existence on the surface is actually a pot boiling over with lost dreams and disappointments. The mask we wear to deceive others may also help us pretend everything is okay, but in the end, we need to face reality in order to find contentment.
