Because of You, Love: A Book of Poetry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798361675142)

This collective work of poetry encapsulates decades of navigating the author's varying relationships. The challenges of love, heartache, anger, and resolution is experienced as she fights for sanity in times of depression, self-doubt, and low self-esteem. Early on in her life, she becomes hindered by a kaleidoscope of ever-changing emotions and growing, debilitating anxiety.

For Carmen A. Contreras, love must begin with herself before sharing it with anyone else. Cognitive therapy was a critical part of reaching personal mental health goals. Writing poetry also became her outlet to sort her thoughts about her past and to create a positive mindset for the present and future.

Ultimately, for the author, love can grow and evolve with a little dedication, some guidance, and a lot of patience. Her poems are an observation of all the changes throughout her life, in her relationships, and her outlook on a better way to love.
