EBONY SAMURAI is an inventive memoir inspired by Tamara's unique life journey of finding faith, surviving loss, embracing human love, and becoming fully reconnected to the Divine which she artistically describes in four unique chapters appropriately entitled Centering Chi, Wayward Battle, Soul Mate, and Enlightenment. Wittingly, Tamara pens each tale as a series of ancient parables paralleled to shadow the essence of the samurai and his trials as an innovative guide towards experiencing inner peace and happiness. Tamara hopes that her poetry will inspire readers to look within and aim to reach their destiny, which sometimes entails overcoming obstacles of adversity, embracing life's challenges, and of course, welcoming unconditional love.a gift that may be disguised as an Earth Angel.
