This is the first volume in the Shadows of A Life series. A Lone Journey is about the writer and the world that surrounds her...a world often times spent in complete solitude. It's not necessarily lonely...sometimes the solitude is needed in order to form the words exactly right, but it does take me to places most people don't often venture--the deepest thoughts can sometimes bring out the saddest moments in our lives. That's where this collection comes from...the deepest part of the writer and the world in which I live in.
