REVIEW
Twenty-five poems that reflects the poets lifetime of struggles. Insightful, this book is real; it’s honest; it’s a source of healing. A nice touch is that each poem has a corresponding picture – a bonus for me as I recognized some locations as Jim is a local author.
I had the pleasure of meeting Jim recently. I always have an interest in local authors so I had to stop his booth at a local event. I enjoyed seeing some recognizable pictures in the book.
