    About this ebook

    Readers find Estelle’s poetry to be accessible and relatable. Some say “I don’t like poetry, but I like yours.” Perhaps they can see pieces of their own lives reflected in the words. Reactions to My Old House : “I was right there with you…You have a gift for capturing life’s truths in a matter of fact way.” I Never Expected That produced these responses: “Another succinct gem.” “Extremely touching…You have put nuggets of our stages of life into well placed words.” “First I smiled, then my heart felt the unexpected.”
    “Your poems open unexpected insights. I spend a long time thinking about what you write.” “Just my kind of poems.” “Words crafted from a deep source of empathy. Her words reflect the measure of a generous heart” “She doesn’t flinch in telling clear truths.” “Sometimes lighthearted, sometimes not. It’s as if two friends are walking a path and reminiscing together.” “Your poetry has all the feels!”
    Among The 50 selections in this book, you will surely find many that speak to your journey in this life so far.
