The transition from being a child to teen is not an easy one-mental trauma, guilt, happiness, regret, crushes, confusion...too much happens in a short period and can be quite overwhelming "Caramel and Curfews", a collection of poems written by a teen herself embodies all that one feels and signifies to others going through the same phase that they are not alone. With poems of all types-ranging from short snippets to long narratives, verse and non verse, this book is aimed at making the reader feel and remember what being in this stage of life feels like. The book is the first volume in a series of poem collections highlighting the various stages of life progressively.
