    About this ebook

    Mary Beth is the main character in "From the Hill Side." She is strong willed and can not take advise, she insults and degrades and holds herself above others, even thou it is obvious she is not superior to anyone. She puts herself first before everyone including God. And seemly, not having any responsibilities, she comes to a point where her own act catches up with her and she gets the ultimate response. The poetry is sectioned into four parts: 1) Love and loss, 2) Tragedy, 3) Religion, and 4) Brotherhood. The brotherhood section has the most number of poems because of the author's precarious lifestyle as a youth. Most all Gerard's poetry deals with some sort of hardship. I think this is an attempt to correct or help with an answer and to look forwards' and make amends. In conclusion, the author agrees, We all make mistakes."

    Gerard Slaughter

    I, Gerard Stephen Slaughter was born in Laurel MS on February 26 1959 to John Wesley Slaughter and Marion Brewer Slaughter. After several moves my family and I settled in San Antonio, Texas in 1965. I was not an outstanding student, but participated in several activities, as a youth. And as an older teenager, I choose to use my abilities in construction trades. And, having been sporadically writing and drawing, and attending art school for several years, I found myself in a position to write this book. In conclusion, I find myself writing almost every day and enjoying it very much.
