About the Book
A book of poetry collected from family memories as a child. Every poem in the collection pertains to a family member in my life, or special moments. Also writing was a moment when I could speak from the soul and ended being wonderful therapy. I found out I could put my feelings away in a box, and return when I wanted to remember my special people. When my sister Annie was dying from cancer was the most hurtful moments of my life. She inspired me to write because my love for her gave me so much power to write about her and preparation to say goodbye.
About the Author
I was the oldest daughter of agricultural Texas workers who followed the seasonal crops all over the United States from the 1940's - the 1970's as migrant workers. As I grew up I question our way of life very much. This inspired me to write about my love ones and the roles they played.
