Book Cover & Preview Text
FAITH Faith is what we all seem to look for and seek. When life is very hard and things look very bleak. It's when you realize your spouse is no longer your hero. It is when the bank account balance suddenly is zero. When your rent is due and the landlord won't bend. When an addiction takes over your very good friend. When you love someone and the love is not returned. When you fail again after you thought you had learned. Faith is what you have when all hope is at a loss. It is a better day you seek after a fight with your boss. It is the inner humble spirit teaching you to gently glide. It is the courage you find when you really want to hide. It is the stand you decided to take when no one else would. It is the success you will make, when no one said you could. It is God in your spirit, echoing for you to achieve. When all you had in the world, was a dream to believe. It is a conviction that God can and a hope that he will. It is the impossible task that you somehow did fullfill. It is the faith you walked by when not using sight. that led you out of darkness back into light.

About the Author
Patricia Hawkinson started writing stories at age 7 in Long Island, New York and developed a gift that penned her "Poetry-Lady" by the time she was in middle school.As a dyslexic child she flipped words around and created songs writing full pages backwards in content. At age 15 her first poem was published in an anthology and after 40 or more titles she decided to self publish her own collection.Contracted in the 1990s at age 20 to ghost write rap lyrics for an entertainment company misguided her talent and gift.In her detour from writing she overcame her learning disability,graduated College with a Criminal Justice Degree and became a mother of two sons. Her first book "Whispers of A Butterfly Warrior: Healing & Recovery on Damascus Road" is unlike any other poetry book on the shelf. Patricia wanted to say it her way, uncensored. With wording too rough and hard to be labeled as a "christian" writer she decided to go a route in writing that no other poet has tried. Spiritual Street Poetry has no genre she could catorgorize for a publishing company so she decided to create it and give it to the world herself.Her words are self-help oriented and faith based but eccentric in delivery of vivid untouchable subjects that must be addressed. Currently she resides in South Carolina.
