Product Description

Those crystallized moments in time that we will always hold dear. A young girl in the sixties is out of touch with the Vietnam War, she is having those growing pains and struggles with parental rules so she writes. Through her poetry we get a glimpse of what it was like to be afraid of the unknown entities of war then while coping with life and death situations. She also gives you an unfolding picture of a young girl trying to deal with life, falling in love, and leaving home to face more facets of life around her. Her poetry continues to unfold before you while her life blossoms from a young girl to a mature woman. Through her work you will be able to relate at any age the struggles of a young person to understand life and to find love.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Time of Escape", May 22, 2006
This was a refreshing book of poetry which took you back in time. The author covers many decades and marks specific earth shaking events in a way many authors have not. I also enjoyed her viewpoints of younger children then her growing pains of being in love, experiencing death, as well as the coping of life. I highly recommend this to everyone. Here is a great book for children to learn from.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening, May 22, 2006
Here is a glimpse at what all of us go through in life. You can easily see how the writer grows not only with in herself but in her work. Here is a great book for young adults to read as well as any age group. It let's you realize that we all have growing pains and we do live through them. There are some beautifully written poems on nature that will be around for ages to come. I recommend this book highly to everyone.

This is a very unusual book of poetry. It adds thoughts of what was going on in the world in the past allowing some of us to remember how things were. Read more
