Shattered Before They Blossomed is a poetry book about a time of loss and heartbreak. Misunderstandings, assumptions and frustrations all coming down at once. A dark period of time produced these poems. A few contain strong language. No one is perfect, we all deserve to be treated with kindness and in the end a lesson of boundaries was learned. Always be kind. Love not hate. Communication resolves misuderstandings anad disagreements, not silence.
