    About this ebook

    Often in our life journeys we wrestle with intense struggles. Fears and frustrations sometimes wrestle with inner peace and joy. Each day we find ourselves endeavoring to put on masks that cover our inner pain. Many times we find that we are unable to express our feelings to significant others. Dr. Joan Harrington has spent many years in her personal life journey of ministry among those who have experienced deep sadness and intense struggles. She has used poetry as her own heart expression of these struggles. In her poems, Dr. Joan has expressed these emotional struggles in a way that the reader will identify with as his or her own struggles. This book of poems written over a span of 78 years will assist the reader in finding a way to his or her pain, happiness, faith, and other significant emotions in their own personal life journeys.

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
