Fractured Lollipop Poems of Brokenness,Healing and Hope

It has been a long journey since last year when I started to write this poetry book. Even a longer journey in self-publishing this book. Many lessons have been learned from obtaining an ISBN to cover design. Formatting and editing until my eyeballs fell onto my computer keyboard. Here is a snippet of the cover reveal. More information in two weeks.

    • Sue, thank you very much. The theme of this book is very dear to my heart. Since I have worked in the health care field since I was a teenager. I am humbled by the God-given talents to write words that can change our hearts and minds. I hope that with this book, people can relate to its message. In letting people know they are not alone in their struggles with mental health.
