Many times, we are bombarded by situations that make it difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel…we become impeded by our struggles and confined to futile reactions.

These poems are moments of contemplation in a world of troubles and trauma…These poems are a process of embracing a change to avoid remaining the same.

Some are brand-new and ready for the world, whereas some are old and kept in closets and only worn in the privacy of homes. Tammy Jones takes on a new way of sharing the precious gems of knowledge and morals she has gathered along the way. Jones lets her poetic spirit flow freely as you get a glimpse of her journey.

In this new collection of poems, essays, and flash fiction, the author once again exhibits her ability to write about both the light and dark sides of life.
