This book tells the story of my journey in poems.
Their unconditional love and faith carried me through many.
I want to give a special thank you to those who have mothered and mentored me: Sherry Anderson, Marlene Olson, Joyce Davis, and-the only grandmother I remember-Mabel Paulene Nichols.
Thank you for giving witness to my words such as they are.
These pieces are not in chronological order but appear in a sequence that feels right to me.
I have been asked to put them in a collection.
