    <about><![CDATA[I'm a 54 year old mother, grand mother, and author, of two books: 'The Lives of Abused and Battered Women' was written to tell of my life as well as that of other women due to abuse. It's my intention to offer that helping hand, or kind word that I didn't get when I was going through my trials. I try to give hope to the hopless, to give the reader a sense of self respect, self esteem, and self love. It's a self help book.<br/><br/>My second book 'Heart-Boosting Poetry' consist of spiritual poems; love, the loss of a loved one-whether it is due to a death or a break up, friendship, and a couple of poems in rememberance of mother. It it a little something to help you to stay in control. To give help in being more bold. Most of all there are kind words, and gestures to help you to get out of that corner so that you will not waste away or mold.<br/>]]></about>
