by Jenevieve (Peach) Woods (Author), Pete Geissler (Author)
This is the second - and, one can hope, surely a bridge to the third - of books authored by Jenevieve (Peach) Woods, a remarkable teen who lives with a disease that alters her life in profound ways and could shorten it as well. She conveys, in heartfelt prose and in soulful poetry, her message of courage and hope, her call for universal acceptance and equality of all people, her love of family and others in her support group, and her deep appreciation of the beauty that surrounds her. The book is her gift to you of dreams and reassurance without a hint of the despair that ordinary mortals might feel given similar circumstances.
Author Biography
Peach is currently a freshman at La Roche College, where she is studying psychology as her first step towards a career counseling others who face a similar disruptive lifestyle and uncertain future. In her first book, PEACH: An Exceptional Teen's Inspiring Journey for Universal Acceptance, she intersperses poetry with prose. A few of those poems are reprinted here, along with many others that have never been published.
