    About this ebook

    On her 37th birthday Leesa suffered a brain hemorrhage caused by a rare, vascular disorder known as an AVM/CA and could not talk, read, or write.  Her ability to write this book is a miracle!  On the pages of this book, she’s shared some meaningful moments with us.  Using powerful and vivid imagery, compiled with elegance and grace, Leesa draws readers into the depth of the beauty of her words.  Various poems offer praise exploding with adoration in torrents of poetic language while others present intriguing topics in great depth. Her words of love are skillfully written and seem to dance off the page!  So step inside, into her heart, and listen to the Melodies From Within…
