Feelings Galore - Paperback

by Heather Royes (Foreword by), Sandra Grant-Manderson (Author)

Feelings Galore is a collection of poems which showcases the journey through the poet's life. These include her thoughts, feelings, and experiences of love, family, motherhood and the society in general.

Sandra was encouraged to write these poems as an avenue to give her feelings 'life', and in doing so, she found and shares the beauty of life, despite the injustices and circumstances which she has courageously faced.

This book is a tribute to those who are unable to express their emotions verbally. She offers consolation and hope to the voiceless. Sandra encourages persons not to suppress their feelings because this causes more harm than good. Instead, she inspires her readers to find ways to express themselves for healing and joy.
