Regrets, bitter memories, and events beyond our control can rob us of happiness. Perseverance and faith may heal such wounds and restore our hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoet Carolyn Peterkin understands this, and her poems reflect the ever-changing nature of life. She freely acknowledges the sadness and fear that can overwhelm the soul, but she never forgets the significance of inspiration, hope, love, and faith may bring. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first poem in her new book of deeply personal free verse reflects such themes. \"Fear of the Unknown\" focuses on how the events of 9\/11 forever darken one man's ability to enjoy a crisp fall day. In contrast, \"Mesmerized\" reveals the presence of the Savior at all times in life and the comfort such knowledge brings. Peterkin expertly swings between these extremes throughout her collection, and that exploration culminates in the mixture of sadness and hope that is \"Heart and Soul,\" the final poem in the collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Skies Are Blue Again\u003c\/i\u003e, Peterkin offers no easy answers to life's tribulations. What she does offer is inspiration, hope, and unshakable faith-and the assurance that life, for all its troubles, is worth living to the fullest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carolyn Peterkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1977728995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781977728999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.25d","brand":"Carolyn Peterkin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874178478335,"sku":"9781977728999","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-skies-are-blue-again-carolyn-peterkin-9781977728999","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
