Publisher's Synopsis
15% OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS BOOK WILL BE DONATED TO CHARITIES THAT SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH (such as the author's own BJD Memorial Rainbow of Hope Charitable Foundation for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention)
Dr. Liz' Pocketbook of Poems is subtitled a companion to Dr. Liz' Life Launch series, which includes her Amazon #1 international (in 4 countries) best-selling memoir: Life Launch! Surviving the Storms of Physical and Sexual Abuse, Book One, and soon to be published Life Launch! Book 2: A New Dawn of Healing and Recovery.
In Dr. Liz' Pocketbook of Poems, she shares with her reader her entire body of poetry that she has penned since she was 12 years old. The majority of these works were written as an outlet to self-soothe during the teen and young adult years Dr. Liz recounted in her best-selling memoir: living in abusive environments; navigating the tragic, accidental death of her older, only brother and other family and friends' suicides; and her own struggles with drug and alcohol abuse.
This is Book Three of a 3-book series. Life Launch! Book Two (coming soon) will reveal the struggles Dr. Liz overcame during the 2nd half of her life: the suicide of her husband, the death of her father, abusive relationships, and being engaged at one time to a man who later became the Butcher of Brooklyn. In Dr. Liz' Pocketbook of Poems, she shares through rhyme and prose her struggles to understand the traumatic experiences she faced, as a teen and young adult.
