girl is a reflection of the coming-of-age of a young girl through poetry. It is the journey of the battle of addiction in many sensesto substances, people, and ill behaviorfollowed by the path of discovering the true meaning of her life as well as the pain of love and her travels to a better existence.

A part of me struggled to write this book. The pieces of this story are parts of my life I wish never existed. However, I want to share my journey so young girls and boys can read my words and feel understood. So to you, the reader, this ones for you. May you take a little piece of my heart with you as you read, and know we are all golden children wrecked in silver. I hope you find all the good things in life.
