Written by a survivor of child sexual abuse, this collection of poetry reveals the pain and suffering that lay hidden in suppression for many years. It was during therapy that Paola Borella discovered poetry and realised that it could be used to heal her soul. The poems describe early childhood memories that come in the form of flashbacks and are at times quite disturbing. They also describe the feelings released during the healing process. The final poems portray emotions felt upon reflection of the past and the journey taken in order to start healing from the painful memories. Much of the poetry focuses on the natural environment like birds, roses and other flowers, and highlights self-discovery and self-healing. The poetry reveals the lessons and human connections that Paola found in nature. As a survivor of abuse and advocate against it, Paola now understands that her purpose in life is to help others and show that they are not alone. By publishing this collection of poetry she hopes to raise more awareness about abuse survivors and what they go through. She also hopes it will provide hope and encouragement to others.

Thirteen-year-old Rose takes on the wild west, outlaws, and the strict rules of the early 1900s. When Rose Solomon's brother, Abe, left El Paso, he told the family he was heading to Brooklyn. But Rose discovers the truth the day she picks up the newspaper at Pickens General Store and spies a group photograph captioned The Southwestern Scourge of 1915! There stands Abe alongside none other than Pancho Villa and his army! Rose is furious about Abe's lie; fearful for his safety; and worried about her traditional parents who, despite their strict and observant ways, do not deserve to have an outlaw for a son. Rose knows the only way to set things right is to get Abe home, but her clandestine plan to contact him goes awry when she is kidnapped by Villa's revolutionaries and taken to his hideaway. Deep in the desert, amidst a richly rendered assortment of freedom-seekers that includes an impassioned young reporter, two sharp-shooting sisters with a secret past, and Dorotea, Villa's tyrannical young charge, Rose sees no sign of Abe and has no hope of release. But as she learns to lie, hide, and ride like a bandit, Rose discovers the real meaning of freedom and what she's willing to risk to get hers back.

Excerpt from The White Rose I can work, sir, well enough, replied the pupil, when I have an object. An object! Retorted the tutor, lifting his eyebrows in that stage of astonishment which is but one degree removed from disgust; gracious heavens, sir, if your whole success in life, your character, your position, the very bread you eat, is not an object, I should like to know what is! Gerard knew, but he wasn't going to tell Mr. Archer; and I think that in this instance the latter showed less than his usual tact and discrimination in the characters of the young.
