Peeling, Dealing, and Healing is a collection of poems about a journey of self-discovery and emotional growth after a series of failed romantic relationships. It chronicles years of peeling away layers of emotional scar tissue, dealing with that integument, and, finally, experiencing the peace of true healing. But these poems do something else as well; they offer guidance and hope to others on the same path. G. Allen writes, "Protect and guide those around me, so we may venture forth unharmed." Because she knows that we must all move forward together, the reader will find much wisdom and guidance here.
