Princess in the Night - Paperback

by Joseph Howard (Author)

This book is an extremely emotional series of poems. When read in sequence, they tell you the true story in real-time of a love that was intense and so tragic. These poems were never intended to be a book. They were written as kind of a therapy by a very sensitive man in a downward spiral. He was struggling to deal with all of the overwhelming emotions that come with loving someone who is an addict, while at the same time watching the love of his life succumbing to her addiction. While tragic, these poems are also informative. They will give you a glimpse into the life and the real struggles of someone who got caught up in a life and love that took him to the brink of his own self-destruction. Due to the intensity of the poems in this book, I would caution everyone to take their time reading it. Especially if you are in recovery or still suffer with an active addiction.
