On The Ledge

About the Book

I started writing these poems as a way to work through fear, sadness and anger I was carrying with me from my childhood. As I wrote, I began to see how so many of my adult life decisions were made based on protecting that scared lonely little girl. So next I reviewed the men I had chosen to be part of my life, the who, why, when. What a pattern I saw there! Not so good a pattern. So more poems. When I had my two children, I now had the motivation to push further past the fear and stupidity of the earlier parts of my life and see my way through to being able to raise my children differently than I had been raised. Writing these poems brought many tears, some wonderful memories, and a lot of insight into how I direct my future and destiny.
