Book Synopsis

"A necessary reminder that whatever we are feeling, we are never feeling it alone." --Trista Mateer, author of Aphrodite Made Me Do It

"There are defining moments in our lives that we often experience in certain places. It's in these places, that we feel particular emotions, which help shape who we become. For anyone whose emotions are tied to places, this book is for you."--Courtney Peppernell, author of Pillow Thoughts

By the author of the wildly successful 2am Thoughts, comes Nineteen -- titled after the poet's age when she wrote this new book. Nineteen is a collection of poetry that broaches heartbreak, love, loss, war, peace, and healing.

For every place we go, there is a feeling or memory that's been painted on the walls. You can paint over it, but it will always be there. Even if you can't see it, you know.

You can feel the heartbreak inside the bedroom where you lost a love.

You can feel the hope at the coffee shop where a beginning happened.

You can feel the healing as you sit in the driver's seat, in charge of your own life.

"A journey. An exploration. A reminder to put one foot in front of the other even when it's dark because there is always a light waiting for you in the distance."--Wilder, Author of Nocturnal

"In spare poems with aphoristic lines and short prose segments, the book speaks to adolescent pain and suffering."--Publishers Weekly

"Nineteen is a journey. An exploration. A reminder to put one foot in front of the other even when it's dark because there is always a light waiting for you in the distance. These words will reach in your direction, they will pull you back to places you thought you had forgotten only to remind you how far you have come. There is heartbreak living inside of here, but the most beautiful thing is that there is healing between these pages, too." --Wilder, Author of Nocturnal
