Description
From an early age girls are taught they they are worthy of a prince charming and they wait for the day that he comes on his white horse to take her off into the sunset; however, love isn’t like that. Love is confusing, surprising, painful, and enchanting. Love is Serendipity. This book takes you into the world of one girl searching for her prince in a small rural town during her High School years. Each and every poem takes you through an emotional rollercoaster of flirtations and infatuations in the span of four years as she finds that it takes a lot of frogs before you can meet Prince Charming. Based on actual events, Serendipity will remind you of your first love who promised it would last forever.
John Ward –
“All of us have different expectations when we pick up a poem to read. Often we go looking for an old familiar moment to savor, a new kindred spirit to listen to, or a unique perspective on an hackneyed situation. Serendipity does it all. From curiosity to angst, from serenity to chaos, the roller coaster of youth invites you get on for one more ride.” John Ward, English Teacher
