Laetitia Black Reviews Breach Of My Heart

I found a new respect for you through your writing. While reading your book, I reflected on the fact that the 3rd Anniversary of Katrina is upon us and realized that we are still so far from total reconciliation. I enjoyed this book immensely and look forward to reading Straight From My Heart.

Straight From My Heart & Breach Of My Heart Review By Michael G. Bagneris

Once again, Marie Bookman has exposed her heart. Her first book, “Breach of My Heart,” captured the love for her city. It displayed the pain she felt for the suffering endured by her fellow citizens and the heartfelt pride she had for their resiliency and determination.

Her new book, “Straight From My Heart,” is much more personal. She gives us a peek at the multidimensional phases of love — love of self, love of family, love of friends, love of community.

Breach Of My Heart Review By Attorney Victoria Hines

Even now I’m fighting back tears as I think back on that day. I just wanted to write to tell you Thank You for being courageous enough to put your thoughts down to paper and sharing them with the world. I think that they will help those of us like myself who share many of your feelings but are unable to really express them.

  • Straight From My Heart

    This book is a soulful journey with expressions of truth, love, loss and all that embodies life through the poetry in it.
    It is about allowing our inner voice to form a relationship with our outer voice, so that we can improve our relationships with our loved ones.
    It is also about allowing old wounds to heal by opening our hearts and sharing what we feel with the people who matter the most to us.
  • Breach Of My Heart

    Her entire community had been destroyed and there seemed to be no real assistance in sight or understanding of how or even if the city would be rebuilt.
    After renting one half of a "shot-gun" double house in the "uptown" area of the city, she faced her city by day and her demons by night! It was during that time that some of her most emotional, raw, pure, explicit and graphic poetry which became "Breach of My Heart."
