All's Fair

By Stephanie L. Kemp

With personal fresh insight and excitement Stephanie Kemp relates in a convincing way thoughts that relate to episodes that most people experience at one time or another during this voyage called life. In some instances her writing focus is on barriers that halt love and relationships and in others she presents a raw uncut look at self. Euphoria, sadness, hope, fear, contentment, and anger; these emotions and more encompass the human journey. In the end we all fight the same battles and live for the same victories. There is a struggle between love and war. In combat Alls Fair.
