FROM THE PUBLISHER Paper Dolls and Toy Soldiers is a powerful collection of poems that gives it's readers a different view of life. The material can be brutal at times and other times full of hope . The poetry contained in this book deals with all aspects of life from addiction , death, grief and mental illness to love, foregiveness and hope. The voice of the streets comes through in this book - hence the title Paper dolls = The victims or the addicts, Toy Soldiers = The pushers, the dealers or the abusers . You can't read this book without getting something from it, no matter what your age, race, gender,religion or social status . This book not only educates but gives understanding to the street life through poetry . It's a must read, you want to pass it on. This journey from darkness to light is worth taking...

Review by Delisha Paris on "Paper Dolls and Toy Soldiers" The poetry in this book is my sisters honest feelings and thoughts through the last few years some of it from guilt and shame and some from hope If you know anyone who is an addict or who has faced physical or sexual abuse whether they have done it to themselves or been the victim of someone elses cruelty this book can shed some light on the thoughts and feelings they may not express publicly.

5 star reveiw from Orlando Gutierrez 4/16/05 This writer has captured her own misery as a damaged child and addicted adult in a brutally honest and wonderfully written book of poems. Her refusal to give in to her demons and her her desire for recovery are truly inspiring. This is a great read, especially for addicts and family members or friends of addicts.
