Alyson Hagedorn

For much of her life she gave to everyone and everything around her. The only thing she did for herself was scribble her truth inside pages and on dinner napkins to be hidden away or tossed in the bin. When her life exploded and compartmentalization was no longer a option, the words leaked out and refused to become rubbish, forgotten and unnoticed. They begged to be set free and for the first time in her life, she listened to herself.
