If you know Aleathia you know she has a big heart full of love and kindness and gives it fully to those that matter the most in her life. While that is a beautiful characteristic sometimes it backfires. In Aleathia Drehmer's latest collection, \u003cem\u003eWe Don't Get to Write the Ending, \u003c\/em\u003e she writes poems of beginning and ending love stories. It is a memoir collection of broken hearts and lost loves where the pieces of the puzzle didn't quite fit. These poems do not come across as bitter or schmaltzy but are written with the subtle grace that flows form the poet's heart. I have already read this three times. You will too.\"-Scot D.
