In this walk called life there are times when confidence, strength and courage can be replaced by inaction, fear and weakness. The inability to think, function and move on in life can be crippling and soul destroying. The Time is Now – Resurrected by the River, is a book of poetry like few others. An account of one womans journey through a period of her life that threatened to consume her, it tells of the changes that she underwent that took her from someone who was going through the motions, to a new and triumphant place in her life. Sometimes portraying despair, occasionally hopelessness, Resurrected by the River nevertheless carries a constant vein of hope running through its core and shows that there is always light at the end of the darkness and always a balm to soothe the fire that tries us.
