BROKEN BRANCH

With true-to-life characters surrounded by passion, spirit, and drama; it is a wonderfully vivid story that strives to touch the lives of its readers.  An epic story of survival, intrigue, passion and rebirth draws from life’s experiences but much of it is purely fiction. It spans the heels of the great depression through 2033; depicting a family’s 100 year saga and struggle to develop a homeland and teach the nation about love and justice and, they would do it in one generation. But many would disappear; many would meet with a heavy duty flyswatter to crush their dreams. Readers will come to have a deeper admiration for many heroes as they come to know about their complete sacrifices and pre-emergent lives and will cheer them on their way to becoming compelling voices. Who were they? They had vowed to leave the gravity of the earth when the country was in pretty good shape. What was that fire in the sky in April 2012 – a jet stream they called it? Five overlapping stories unravel this mystery.

Wedged The Poetic Edge

In her poetry, the author attempts to create a view of the world through poetic lenses. Writing in several genres, she aims to stretch readers’ imaginations and challenge unsettled scores with nature, love, and man’s will.

The poet’s use of the narrative, free-verse, and rhyme stroke images imbedded in the readers’ mind and heart to coax them to the surface. Through a palette painted with joy, her poetry depicts the fragility of blossoms and the warmth that embraces spiritual awareness.

In Wedged – The Poetic Edge, two short stories and one hundred and twenty five poems depicting life through humor, history, and culture, swinging from moods of happiness and sadness, are blended to create a unique reading experience.
