In this powerful poetry collection, encounter a life that has risen from the lowest places to the highest heights of faith, family, and ongoing triumph over chronic illness.
Tina Fisher has lived a full, rich life, with many ups and downs. As a child, she remembers a troubled adolescence, sometimes stealing from her mother and running away from home. She also remembers a mother who never gave up on her. Over the course of her forty-seven years, she has faced four separate battles with cancer, over fifty surgeries, and a recent diagnosis with multiple sclerosis.
Yet, in all this, Tina counts herself blessed to have her children and grandchildren, along with the joy she gets from writing music, short stories, and poetry. Poetry from the Heart is a collection of poems that Tina wrote while living out of her car. It is a testament to the power of the written word and poetic forms to get us through the toughest times in life.
Among Tina's favorite poets are Edgar Allen Poe, Robert Frost, and William Shakespeare. It is Tina's wish that her poems will inspire readers to persevere through painful seasons, overcome doubt in the goodness of God and of the beautiful world we live in, and even to let themselves love again.
Poetry like the verses in this deeply personal book shows us that we can be ourselves freely, that we can express what's in our hearts, and that-just maybe-it will all turn out right in the end.
