Overview

Synopsis: Many of these poems came from a sad place in the heart of Candice as she grew up with six other siblings for just a short time. They all began leaving one by one and she became the only one left at home. The innocence and worries of childhood left her at the age of fifteen when her father, grandfather, brother-in-law, and then her cat all passed away! Her escapes into writing down her feelings were warranted one day when her mom read one of them, sat down, and cried. It was entitled ""Thirteen Cents,"" a poem about her father. The poems in this book are related to her feelings at the time. Some were initially written to someone who may have broken her heart, but then the poems turned into praising the Lord instead of dwelling in the past. Candice enjoys her garden and adds flowers in memory of loved ones whose spirits have crossed over. Hopefully, readers will enjoy her rhymes, relate, and shed a tear. Autobiography: Candice Shipley resides in Newton County, Georgia, with her husband Phil and their three dogs-Luna, Stella, and Duce. They have chickens and sheep on ten acres with a pond and a creek. This, for them, is a dream come true compared to the hardships they suffered through the recession of 2007. She owned and operated several beauty salons, but she retired after twenty-six years. After healing from the surgery on her right hand, she continued with her writings and paintings on canvas. With the encouragement of her husband and her literary agent, she rebranded, edited, and republished Lacey's Room by Candy Momma, KaDee's Kitchen, and gathered many decades of poetry together and composed the book Flowers From My Garden.
