After writing a poem a day for a year, Shelby Leigh was encouraged by her readers to create her debut poetry collection. It Starts Like This is a collection of her favorites. Beginning with heartbreak and loss and ending with closure and hope, It Starts Like This is the narrative of a girl learning to overcome and appreciate all aspects of life. This collection takes you on a journey through love,loss, grieving, and healing and will resonate with you long after you've turned the last page. "Compassion, intimacy and emotions are what you will find in It Starts Like This: A Collection Of Poetry by Shelby Leigh. As you read through the Table of Contents, you will find a wide array of poetry that will touch your heart, mind, soul, and spirit. Once you begin to read the work of Shelby Leigh, you will be able to feel the transparency of the words and the emotions of the heart on each page." --Vernita Naylor, Reader's Favorite
