Beyond Loss

About the Book

This book of poetry blossomed from a childhood filled with sadness, loneliness and a yearning for the protection and love of a caring 'daddy.' In spite of pain and confusion over the years, I was able to find much of what I needed and wanted in wonderful relationships along the way, loving and being loved. This led to an evolution in consciousness, and a feeling of wholeness, which I hope will find universal appeal among my readers.
