Intervention and safety planning for those caught in abusive situations or those who would like to assist others from a bystander's position.

The writing of this "book" began sometime in 1989 when I penned my first poem. Since then I have grown in ways unimaginable and seen the world change in ways I had hoped not possible. Over the years this collection of my thoughts has taken on a life of its own and, I certainly hope, has become something unusual and unique.
