FROM THE SHADOWS

From the Shadows is a compilation of poems on various topics relating to the human experience, ranging from family to self-actualization. The core theme of the book, however, centers around love. Specifically, poems relating to the vibrancy of new love, the heartache of losing love or the accusatory pang of illegit affection. The poems are meant to be emotive, evocative and self-affirming.

BECAUSE OF HIM

Because of Him – Poems of Praise, Thanksgiving and Devotion has poetry that seeks to communicate, in a truly relatable manner, an enthusiastic appreciation and love of God and the demonstration of His presence in our everyday lives. Faith and hope encourage us while love of God, love of our neighbor, even love of ourselves, allows God’s light to penetrate dark situations.

COLOR MY THOUGHTS

Color My Thoughts is more than a poetry book; more than a coloring book. It’s both! The book includes 24 of Rita’s poems that were selected to accompany the artwork of Pamela J. Patterson, the co-author of the book. This is an adult coloring book with poetry that will simultaneously stimulate thought and relax the reader.

What I’m writing now…
My forthcoming project is memoir. I have completed a novel-length manuscript that I call The Sense I Was Born With – Breaking the Shield of Shame. The book follows my journey of moving through devastating family and personal struggles to a place of honest self-awareness, empowerment and peace. The reader will see a transitional period of my life where I had to get real with myself and drop the pretense of “everything is okay.” The anticipated audience is mainly women, from all economic backgrounds, races and cultures. Women who have experienced abusive relationships, motherless daughters, or those weighted with the shame of sexual molestation. My hope in writing the memoir is that readers will not only see themselves in parts of my story, but that they will recognize their own strength and resiliency and move forward to become the woman they hope to be.
