I would like to thank my mother who has supported me throughout my process of writing this book. I'd like to thank my aunt and nan for being there with me for the subjects of my poetry. Also, to my past therapist Diane who was the first person I revealed my poetry and experienced the magic of sharing such personal experiences. I'd like to thank the women in book club who have built me up as a person. And lastly I'd like to thank you for picking this book up you have made a dream come true.
