Description of the Book:
 
"Tides and Tempests" is a deeply moving compilation of poems penned by the author as a memoir of her mother. Reflecting on the profound impact of losing her mother at the tender age of 15 and now, at 30, the author poignantly explores the journey of the past 15 years and the myriad ways in which she has navigated life's complexities. Through evocative verse, the collection delves into themes of love, loss, grief, coping with suicide, battling alcoholism, grappling with trauma, and embracing sexuality.
