$12.95. This is a poetic memoir that, by writing it, taught me about myself and will open the doors of my personhood to all who enter and read. There is joy, sorrow, self-chastisement, philosophy, contemplation and spiritual yearning. A real soap opera, without the commercials, the endless infidelities or cliff-hangers and resurrections. There will be poems that you love or absolutely loathe, like okra, or cilantro or dill pickles, but everything is in there. However, it is hoped that, somewhere in all the words, there is redemption. With this book, I invite you to join me on my journey. Laurie
