This is Book Three of a 3-book series.

(coming soon) will reveal the struggles Dr. Liz overcame during the 2nd half of her life:
the suicide of her husband, the death of her father, abusive relationships, and being engaged at one time to a man who later became the Butcher of Brooklyn
.
, she shares through rhyme and prose her struggles to understand the traumatic experiences she faced, as a teen and young adult.
