Joelle Valente wrote this book of poetry with the intention of truthfully inspiring the reader from her heart to theirs. There are those of us that were not lucky enough to have the support system that would have made a significant difference in our Spiritual Journeys. For every fellow foster child out there who is at a loss, Joelle knows that pain; she lived in numerous homes, before she found my own. "Remember that the darkness has no loyalty, but is defenseless against the light. Though hell exists, what good are we, if we are not real?"
