Dear Reader, If you are looking for a happy story filled with tender moments and cheerful possibilities....sadly this is not the book for you. Clouded Decisions is based on a heart-wrenching true tale that will leave you looking in the mirror. We all have our dreams, and we never stop to question the clouds even when they provide obvious warning. Clouded Decisions is a beautifully written account of the molding of a truly inspiring woman. Courage is not pride, it's the loss of it. It's the sacrifice. It's getting up everyday and saying I will not let my circumstances define who I am and what I'm capable of. It's the difference, the disappointment, disadvantages and disapprovals that show us who we are and what's important. It's the big ah ha in the basement of rock bottom. It's the big, beautiful storm in a clouded decision that brings the rain to wash away everything that ever held you from who you are. This is that story, one that resonates with all of us.

A chorus of women's voices drawn from fairy tales, history and the author's imagination sing from the pages of this wildly creative collection. By turns funny, angry and erotic, these real and fictional characters pulse with life. Emily Dickinson beats a path through a forest with her bare feet, while a landlocked mermaid sits on her boyfriend's couch and remembers the lacy algae and other delights of her past life in the ocean. Some of the women in the book are free and others feel trapped by society, but they're all alike in their fierce desire to express themselves. An unapologetically feminist book, Not Me: Poems About Other Women includes "The Ride," which was one of 18 pieces chosen to be presented at the 2015 International Women's Day Poetry Reading in Portland, Oregon.
