Beautifully Broken: Mama D's Recovery Poetry

By Donna Silvester-Breur

I HAVE BEEN IN RECOVERY SINCE JANUARY 16 2020 AND MY POETRY CAME BACK TO ME ONCE MY MIND WAS CLEAR. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT BOOK FOR PEOPLE WITH DEPRESSION AND TRYING TO GET SOBER IN ANY WAY. I HAVE OVER 45 POEMS AND I WRITE ALMOST EVERYDAY AS THEY COME TO ME. IT IS VERY NATURAL
AND COMES FROM SOMETHING I EXPERIENCE OR HEAR AND SEE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I HOPE YOU LOVE MY WORDS.
