Family Style is a collection of poetry from three generations of a family. Works were collected from four different women and placed into this collection. Marie Shafer has only two offerings, as the rest were destroyed. But, they show both a depth of emotion and a level of maturity that is unequaled. Lila Shafer has only a few selections as the others were stolen upon her passing. The few that remain lay bare a soul who was both raw and full of love and compassion for everyone. Cindy Pimentel has offered us a selection that encompasses the long journey from a troubled child to a stable adult....

This is the first offering of brilliant poetry from a new and very talented author, Cindy Pimentel. Come and follow Cindy as she grows from an angry and confused teenager to a young adult in love, and how she deals with the devastating emotions that come with the loss of not one but two sisters, and enjoy the brilliant introspective works that help her come to terms with it all.
