Bøger af Katherine Bailey

These poems reflect the physical, mental, and emotional journey that I've been on for the past decade since developing multiple, complex chronic illnesses, aged 16. It includes my thoughts & feelings through a variety of situations, both positive & negative, and quite are few are addressed to individuals too. Not everyone will be able to relate to them, but for those who can, I hope they benefit you in some way - they are intended to be what I wish I had to read through the periods of fear, upset & unknown.
