Book Description:<\/h5>\n

All her life, she could never understand why she felt \u2018off\u2019. She never felt like she \u2018belonged\u2019. Her teen years were very rough, but she couldn\u2019t remember anything of significance. Over time, she married, had children and eventually went to college. Throughout those years, she couldn’t shake a feeling of uncertainty and what she later realized was anxiety and depression.
\nWhat happened in those early years that rippled into her adult life? Why did it affect her, even when she couldn\u2019t remember anything? How could she answer these questions?
\nThen, at 62 years old, terrifying memories suddenly and inexplicably came back.
\nJourney into the mind of a trauma survivor with The Tie Dye Poet, expressed in deep, vulnerable poetry. Follow her story of trauma and recovery, from defeat and suicide attempts, to her boldness and courage in sharing with others her triumphant story of success against the odds!
\nMany people who have heard these poems have related to her journey, and the emotions expressed within.
\nMaybe you\u2019ll find something that speaks to you too.<\/p>\n

Reader Reviews:<\/h4>\n

“We don’t always get to choose when our healing journey begins. For some of us, it smacks us over the head — which is what happened to the author when traumatic memories came back to her. The author’s book is what happens when you turn traumatic experiences into art. Her recovery journey, and the poetry that came out of it, will surely inspire others who are walking a similar path.”
\n\u00a0– Sarah Schuster, writer and former mental health editor at The Mighty<\/em><\/p>\n

“Finding the Little Girl Inside Me is beyond powerful. <\/em>Childhood trauma can have lifelong consequences and the author\u2019s vulnerability and courage are Emotional, Raw, Real and Heartfelt.
\nWe can genuinely feel her turmoil through memories, her will to survive and her ongoing fight with the burdens she carried. From guilt and pain to her path to forgive and take back control, she is protective of us as readers, giving us some insights about what is about to come so that we ourselves won’t be re-traumatized by our own demons. When the Author starts to have a breakthrough and re-experiences trauma in her mind over and over again, it’s both exciting and frightening. What more will she have to go through? I went from anger, shock, fear, worry and empathy to becoming her cheerleader!
\nThere is no magic wand when facing childhood trauma, but the Author proves that even when we are in the depths of despair, we deserve and can have a future of happiness and fulfilment. This book of poetry is going to change lives!”
\n\u00a0– Lynn McLaughlin, Podcast Host and Author\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI am awe-struck with the clarity and descriptive ability of this writer to explain and describe her journey of trauma and recovery.\u00a0 This is an absorbing dive into the mind and experiences of an abuse -survivor who has intensely fought to find healing and grow into wholeness.\u00a0 Her determination is an inspiring testimony of the power of therapy and spiritual renewal and balance.
\nThe positive ending is helpful for the reader to see the growth, even though the path of growth is not linear, but winding, with “ups and downs, and lefts and rights”.\u00a0 Determination and perseverance are the key qualities for this growth.\u201d
\n\u00a0– JWP<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI am just stunned. I am so impressed by the author’s progress and the way the she\u2019s been able to articulate the journey. It is so close and personal to her, but I also related to many parts myself. I think her book is going to be an important resource\u00a0for me, and other survivors of child abuse and depression as well as self-harm and suicide.\u201d
\n\u00a0– Laura Resurreccion, Artist and Writer<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis book perfectly expresses the pain, anguish, and disappointment of childhood trauma while also giving the hope of healing.\u201d
\n– Lois Fisher, RN<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Tie Dye Poet has managed to capture the atrocities of being the victim of abuse, while allowing family and friends to gain deepened insight into the mind of the abused.\u00a0 The transparency and raw honesty of this endeavor, (although sometime horrifying) is necessary to address the healing process of the abused and the understanding of friends and family.\u00a0 The author\u2019s faith has allowed her to use the most difficult experiences in her life to aid not only abuse victims, but also friends, family and therapists that are able to love and support her and others through the healing process. Thank you to the author for putting your heart and mind on paper, as this book will be life changing for many people!\u201d
\n\u00a0– Rosalie Hetzner<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe author’s vulnerability and heartfelt words allow readers into the world of someone recovering from the trauma of sexual abuse.\u00a0 She gives hope to fellow survivors that with proper processing, support and inner reflection one can bring sunlight to the darkness of their past.\u201d
\n\u00a0– Joylynn Foli<\/em><\/p>\n

“This raw and real collection of poems really is about Finding The Little Girl Within.\u00a0 It’s an honest and captivating look at being human, bringing memories to life in a way that connects strongly with the reader.\u00a0 Difficult to read at times because of the topics involved, I was compelled to keep reading as it touched on a wide variety of emotions, which surprised me.\u00a0 An interesting and inspiring book about beating adversity and working through tough times in life!”
\n\u00a0– Tracey Regan, Author, Editor, Publisher<\/em><\/p>\n
