    About this ebook

    A collection of 15 poems written in sonnet form addressing a myriad of questions that have come up on the author's life-journey, some difficult and others amusing--the challenge of becoming a first-time mother, the difficulty of divorce, the daily conundrum of selecting the right shoes to wear... Her reflections encourage readers to remember that no one is alone in their search for answers. The book also includes 15 original black & white photographs captured by the author.
