    About this ebook

    Pictures Never Taken is the first book that Gray has decided to share with the public and it is her sincere hope that anyone who can relate to; joy, despair, love or a broken heart, feelings of faith and devotion or a sense of complete abandonment, the frustration of family dysfunction, pride in ones heritage, the love of family or, the love of a pet and of nature can find something inside the pages of her book to which they can relate and from which receive a blessing. The author has been writing since childhood. The collection in this book is a small sampling of works spanning from 1974 to 2012.
