About
Mother of five children, grandmother of eight, and great-grandmother of three. Writer/Poet/Author. Published: Arising From the Insanity: The Written works of Naomi R. Butler Arthur, January 2009.
I am a firm believer that God the Creator, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of the Holy Bible, reigns supreme and without Him, my life would have taken a very different turn. I would have never survived this life without His intervention!

Story Behind The Book
Deep, dark, and horrid secrets can destroy a soul. They cause depression, contributes to mental illness and, many times, even suicide. But, if we can only have the courage to reveal that which we have hidden from others for so long, that secret can no longer have any power over us.
For many years I knew that my story must be told, but when? How? Finally in 2009, my time came; the opportunity came for me to publish my story in poetry.
I am pleased to offer Arising from the Insanity: The Written Works of Naomi R. Arthur to those who feel they are, or have been, trapped in the deadly cycle of abuse. You do not have to stay locked away in those prison walls, break yourself free. You have the right to happiness and independence. There is hope!
