Rising Above It All

Rising Above it All is a collection of thirty-seven poems starting with my childhood in Kentucky. It includes poems about addiction, the homeless, our country, families, poverty, depression, domestic violence (domestic violence and combat veterans) the loss of a baby, and many other poems from my heart.

The reason for this book is to help others see that they too can "Rise Above it All" overcoming many obstacles and hardships in life, and make peace with situations they cannot change.

I pray that this book will help encourage others that they too can find peace and contentment in their own life. I thank God for giving me strength to overcome so much, and for my wonderful life today.
