For Souls Like Mine traverses the beauty and the ugliness of love and youth and happiness. It is a roller coaster of emotions--one that leaves you laughing and crying and reaching for a bag to vomit. Sorry, maybe I should have painted a prettier picture. A picture with unicorns and rainbows and butterflies and green grass, but that picture would not accurately describe the content inside this book. 

I think it is best to leave you with the few words found on the back cover of this collection--I have been told that my writing is too depressing. But that's fine, I write for souls like mine.
