On the Edge

This book of poems was written during the author's therapy for depression and suicidal ideation, following the murder, by her father, of the author's mother and stepfather. In a space of two years, following the murders, her mother's brother died of cancer and her grandmother died, having lost her will to live. In addition, the author had to terminate a pregnancy (23 weeks into the pregnancy), as the fetus had Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Lethal Type 2, and had no chance of surviving being born.
