This book is based upon poetry written as the words flowed through my head that I immediately knew I had to write down. Some of the poems are heartbreakingly written from my perspective of being hit and called names that broke my heart and soul during my marriage. Other poems are written from hearing my angels as I wrote down the poems and still others from my dreams at night with the message I gained from the dreams. I reconnected with God and my angels over this period. We are not left when family members pass away. They are still with us. I hope in writing my story, I give hope to those who need it, inspire others to reach out to those in need, and bring strength to survivors of domestic violence. | Awakened by My Angels by Maxine Maxine Allen Rifenburgh, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
