The Life of a Rose is a journey about the author delving into issues of physical, mental, emotional, and sexual abuses beginning in childhood and ending at the point where she finds herself at a rebirth. Conditioned to these abuses early in life, the author finds herself dealing with the very same issues in a relationship with the man she loves and chooses to marry. Leaving the life of rural America, the author finds herself in big cities and the foreign country of Iran. She takes you along with her through three sets of poetry as she processes her past life and learns the art of taking responsibility of her own life, taking her own power. The author conquers her fears and in doing so takes control of her life. As she recognizes she is in control, her ability to be in charge of her own life increases.
