Welcome to my book Quiet The Chaos. My name is Leanna Smith and I am a lifelong resident of the Pacific Northwest and mom to two of the most amazing teenagers a person could want. In my previous book, "Breaking Free Through Poetry,"I introduced readers to my reflective and emotionally driven style of writing. The first book having spanned 30 years of my life had a little bit of everything from high school through dating, heartbreak, marriage, divorce and loss. In this book I draw a little deeper from my inner self by reflecting on my life, some of the trauma I have lived through and the life I share with my children, family, and friends. There are a lot of emotions and feelings in this book which I am hopeful that those who read it will see as I am constantly growing and changing. Currently, while poetry is a passion of mine, I do believe that after book three "The Tortured Poet", is complete, I am going to switch to finishing a couple of novels I started a few years ago. Who knows, then maybe after that I will come back to my first love.
