Publisher's Synopsis
Juanita Ray suffered horrific abuse for six preteen years. At age fourteen, the second time she ran away, her fate was decided in a court hearing, where she became a ward of the court. At age fifteen she married her stalker, one of many divorces. The daunting task of learning lessons the hard way was a neverending journey for most of her whirlwind life. More times than not, she found herself in one corner after another clawing her way out, only to find herself pinned in yet another one. At times her only form of communication was through unshared poetry. Over half of the poems in this collection were written while she was in her teens, others just days prior to publication. Juanita Ray is the author of Toxic Thoughts, a true story series based on her unbelievable life.
