    About this ebook

    From Darkness Into The Light is an inspirational book of poetry written in free style.
    The poems emerged from a journal that I wrote in order to deal with unresolved issues of personal losses. Initially written for self-expression, the poems interwoven throughout the journal profoundly touched me. I read some of them to close friends, and based on their response I began to read the poems to the public. Again, the response was overwhelming. What I find interesting about the poems is that most are written in about 15 minutes, some a little longer, and others in shorter time. I began to realize that the poems are gifts that flow through me and that they touch others in their own deeply personal way.

    Dorothy M. Small

    As a registered nurse, I witness the effects of illness and loss. However, I have first hand experience. As a young child, I lost my mother through death, my father by abandonment and rejection, and my siblings and I were separated. Catastrophic losses have a domino effect. My marriage ended and after a while, my two young sons moved across the country to live with their father. About a year and a half after the divorce, ovarian cancer threatened my life at the age of forty. The depression that ensued was horrendous.
