E. Elizabeth has seen more heartache and trauma than most people will in an entire lifetime. She is also a remarkably resilient young woman who has translated her difficult experiences into compelling, expressive poetry, much of it captured in this book, her first. Some of these poems were written when she was as young as nine, and had already seen or lived through drug addiction, rape, murder, and abandonment. The author sees herself not as a victim, but as a survivor, and she hopes that her writing will move readers not just to tears, but to actions that prevent other children from going through what she has.
