Twenty years after her daughter's tragic death, Phyllis Jean Flowers brought to light a joyous
collection of Erin Flowers' poetry. The book also contains a biography of Erin, describing her
struggles with manic depression, and demonstrating her powerful faith in God.

“This collection of insightful and moving writings by a young woman who battled diabetes
and manic depressive illness, is evidence of her substantial creativity and capacity for
writing. She captured the essence of this battle, and her works graphically illustrate not
simply the phases of her illness, but her tenacity in fighting these demons. It is a legacy that
will help all of us better understand her life and her character. Truly moving!”
