25 Love Poems for Teens and Adults Synopsis
When I was growing up girls at the age of seventeen spoke about their love life; and girls at the age of fifteen and sixteen were involved in non-serious relationships. As the world changed, people also changed. Today, girls at the age of thirteen are telling their friends they are in love. Do I believe them? I do believe in love at first sight. Could they be wrong? I wrote “Seed“ as a guidance to help a young lady determine rather or not she is in love with the guy. Understand, I am not trying to convince you that you are not in love. My goal is to help [you] as you search for your special one, and as you continue the journey with the love of your life.

About Loss of Grandma
The book is a children's biographical fiction book (but I believe in some way it can also be self-help). It is about a twelve year old, name Jessica, who lost her grandmother at a young age. She and her grandmother had a special relationship; and through this book she wants to comfort all the children who also loss their Grandma's. Also, she wants to remind them that although they are sad, they have a family who will give them hugs and kisses.
