My Book review of

A memoir told through selected early works of short stories, essays, and poetry

by Shari Lopatin

I found this collection of writings to be poignant and thought-provoking. My background is different and also similar to the author. The commonalities we shared were the human and questioning parts. Always dreaming and wondering. And the question I have known almost every woman to ask, “am I good enough?” The answer for this author, Shari Lopatin, is you have found your platform. I have once again found my life enriched by another’s perspective.

The poetry section was beautifully written, and made my heart feel a million different emotions. It is rare for me to find modern poetry that is well written; and in a style which makes me want to slow down and soak it all in.

The primary audience would be later teen to adult for content. It is available for pre-purchase at:
