"I feel truly blessed to be publishing my first book of faith-inspired poems," she said. "I love writing poetry, and it has been my dream since I was a child to have my writing published. I love being able to convey my beliefs, understandings, and revelations in poetic rhyme. I have been given this great opportunity to not only do what I love, but to share my poetry with others."
