Life in Kentucky and more

About the Book

I started writing poetry in 2012.I was in major depression because my husband lost his life to a tragic accident. I was lying in bed wallowing in self pity and the idea came to me to get out a pen and paper,and write a poem about the accident.I don’t consider myself a great poet.Most of my poetry comes from the heart. A lot of them are from life experiences, growing up in Eastern Kentucky. I was hesitate to write but through encouragement from my friends, I have given it my best shot. I am a Kentucky born and bred Hillbilly. I have an eighth education, but hopefully I have written something everyone can enjoy.

About the Author

On March the 6th, 2012 I lost my husband of 44years,to a very tragic accident. I married Terry without ever having met him. A friend gave me his address to where he was stationed in Korea. He asked me to marry him in a letter, and sent me an engagement ring . It wasn’t the most intelligent thing to do. We had a rocky marriage, but stayed together through the hard times. We had five children, and now I’m alone with time on my hands. I will try to continue writing more poetry. My book is mostly about my life growing up in Kentucky. I hope anyone who reads it will find it enjoyable.
