Carmen M. Hall is a determined woman who has been longing to make a difference since day one. She didnat know if it was going to be a career in writing, a career in marketing, winning the lottery or marrying a rich man; all she knew was that she had to keep working hard. Through all the hard work, the blood, sweat and tears of raising three children and trying to find happiness, she was able to take the hate, anger, happiness, revenge, love, sympathy, heartache and pain embedded within her and tell a story. Each poem in Teardrops of Poetry is a teardrop, an expression, an event, a story that had been harboring within her that she had to release from deep down in her soul.
