In The Eye Of Grief

She has always worked closely with the emotions and feelings of all age groups and her passion for writing began as a way for her to chronicle her experiences with emotions. Poetry has been her go to space to help her speak about the unspeakable and share the unthinkable. To her, expression flows easier through poetry. With no formal education in the art of poetry writing and writing in general, this is her first shot at compiling her thoughts.

Her love for her dad, his struggle with illness and her dealing with a broken heart, is what this book is about.
