“Let’s face it, life is often tough.
Sometimes, it’s wonderful.
But it’s always absolutely extraordinary.”
Growing Pains explores some of the challenges young people face as they navigate the often-slippery journey of growing up – the funny, the serious, and the deeply heart-wrenching.
Young people are many things: nervous, scared, and excited, but also brave, insightful, and strong. I hope these poems, in some way, paint a picture of these incredible young souls.
