Conroe, TX Author Publishes Poetry

Life’s Inspirations, a new book by Dorothy Jean Crum, has been released by RoseDog Books.

Most of the poems in Life’s Inspirations are about the author’s personal feelings, thoughts, friends, family, kids, grandkids, and faith. The thoughts she has at any moment turn into a poem. She writes from her heart and experiences in her life; everything she deals with pours out into her work. The author experienced a lot of heartache and sorrow, but kept her faith and looked up to God for guidance in her life, making the best of it that she could. She believes that God has given her this talent because once she has thought about certain things she can sit down and type or write it down within thirty minutes the way it comes to her.

Crum hopes that her poems in Life’s Inspirations will also inspire readers as well.
