Description
This personal collection of poetic verse is at once inspiring and
challenging. Beginning with the loss of her mother at age nine, Sonya
began collecting her thoughts in 40 poems in a diary from early
childhood through her twenties. She describes the daily battles of
self-image and self-expression she experienced growing up after the
passing of one parent and the estrangement of another. With the death of
her mother, Sonya lost a part of everything she had known. Two states
away, she finds herself with a different family, school, friends, home
and a new name. The verses written during this time are one woman s
exploration of her raw, emotional responses to dramatic life changes.
This is Sonya's story.
