Bücher von Linda L Franklin

We are all looking for love and we all have experienced the loss of love, or the pain of rejection. My poetry deals with Love, Friendship, hopes and dreams, but at the same time gives hope. Most of my poems are about an essence of a person, and the possiblity of finding them in this lifetime. My poems relate to a lot of different situations. They are easy to read and understand. I have been told by some people that they were not fond of poetry but after reading some of my poems have completely changed their opinion.

But when her youngest asks a life-changing question, she realizes no mother forgets her baby.In this powerful true story, Linda reveals her intensely personal experience when the '50s and early '60s culture demanded girls like her redeem their shame by giving away their babies.Along the way, the trauma and grief she's buried explodes. Her body has never forgotten what she tried to erase from her mind.
