    About this ebook

    In her debut collection of poems, Cynthia Colbert takes you on a journey through her life and the lives of others who have crossed her path. Poignant and honest, her writing is real, raw, unapologetic, and down to earth. Covering topics such as abuse, survival, love, urban living and age, the book is at once heartfelt and relatable.
