Genre: Poetry
Description:
“Growing Season is an introspective collection of poetry about
the ups and down of teenage years and early adulthood. This book discusses
themes such as self discovery, depression, abusive relationships, looking for
love, and overcoming trials. This book is perfect for anyone who finds
themselves in the middle of a messy growing season, when they're still trying
to figure out who they will become and what kind of life they will live.”
Author:
“Rebecca is a wife, mom of two, and a writer. Besides writing and
reading, Rebecca loves to bake, spend time with her family, work on her garden,
and be outside. She lives in the desert of Southern Arizona with her family,
two dogs and a flock of chickens.”
Appraisal:
If you like poetry this collection is one that should speak to almost
anyone to some degree. While it is reflecting on the author’s experience
growing up, so is likely to connect best with a younger female who has gone
through these experiences recently, or maybe is still going through them.
However, an elderly old man like me can remember similar experiences and feel
the message in these poems, even though it was many decades ago when he passed
through that phrase of life.

suicidal ideation, struggles with body image, and emotionally abusive
