This is an anthology of poems by a mother and daughter. The mother (Gretchen) is more conservative with her words yet straight forward and the daughter (Graneshia) you will find to be more enclosed and ambiguous with hers. The daughter writes almost like she wants you to solve a mystery while her mom is writing a confession. Here, you will uncover secrets about both authors and about yourself. What the two have in common is the ability to have you ask yourself if that could be you. The mom you will see, writes to someone rather that flat out sharing her thoughts like her daughter does. She speaks to God, an estranged lover and to herself. The daughter shares experiences of her first love and first heartache, times of suicidal thoughts and destructive actions and the things that motivated her to live. This is a mother and daughters love story.
