Born and raised in Manchester, England, one of Victoriaas earliest poems was written when she was just eleven years old and published in the local newspaper. She has continued to write ever since, whenever time and emotion allow. The birth of her son, loss of her beloved father and grandmother, and breakdown of relationships coupled with lifeas ups and downs have all played a large part in the production of this poetry compilation. A mixture of poetry styles, genre, and at least one verse to which each and every one of us can relate make this book personal to everyone and creates an understanding between reader and author. Calling upon her memories and feelings of past and present relationships, her career, and her family and friends, the author uses these to enhance her writing and develop verse. There are deep emotional attachments to most of the verses which relive the times in the authoras life at which the feelings were experienced but there are also some light-hearted poems which are intended to create questions in the mind of the reader and encourage us all to revisit our pasts. Here also are the lessons learnt by many of us and of those of us young enough to not have experienced deep emotional rigors of life, there are lessons to be learnt. One thing guaranteed within this book: there is a verse for all of us from the young to the old.
