After a near-death experience at a young age, Shirley Ann Wood began writing poems to document how the event changed her life, and to somehow put words to her newfound and deep belief in God. Over the years, as the collection grew, she began to write about different aspects of her life. Heart & Soul Poems is the end result. Honest, unflinching, and deeply moving, these poems aim to provoke soul-searching and give hope and personal enlightenment to all. Through symbolism, metaphor, and imagery, Woods themes center on the most basic of human emotions: love, acceptance, fear, pain, and courage. In The Circle Game, Wood explores the circular paths we follow in trying to understand what God has planned for our lives; The Dreamer looks at Woods alter ego in her dreams. Golden Bells celebrates the miracle of Jesus birth, and Hiding Place reveals the secret spot in our soul where we all go at certain times to conceal ourselves from the world. Woods emotional language and strong imagery offers powerful inspiration. Heart & Soul Poems will resonate with you long after the last page is turned.

After breast cancer treatment, Peta-Ann is elegantly rebelling. She is staying flat. Being herself. Stylishly. Authentically. No boobs required. From Peta-Ann''s unique view of life with giant breasts and then without, no subject is sacred in this light-hearted, somewhat quirky tale about life after a bilateral mastectomy. Do not expect normal from this book. Normal is, in fact, debunked. Every now and then we are presented with life situations that challenge our status quo and how we perceive ourselves, and how we feel society perceives us. Sometimes we allow these things to define our confidence and our personal style. This is an insight into how and why Peta-Ann went against society''s perception that women need breasts to be accepted and chose to stay flat - meaning no prosthesis, no reconstruction, and very concave ribs. Throughout this odyssey there was much ignoring of her own inner-knowing and intuition. But Peta-Ann got there, and she shares how. Her elegantly unique toolkit is filled to the brim with the science stuff, the woo-woo and everything in between. By sharing her experience and toolkit, Peta-Ann hopes others will find their own voice. Take up their own space. Stand in their own personal power. Ask their own questions. Find their own truth. Celebrate their uniqueness. And above all, be able to choose and voice what is the best option for themselves - and only themselves - post mastectomy, whether that is staying flat, reconstructed or prosthesis-upped.

As each unravels secrets about their past and the true nature of their connection, they discover that restoring balance means more than just reunion-it means rewriting destiny itself.
