"I was once on fire; that was me." —C. Streetlights, "My Missing Piece"

Just like in nature, we go through seasons in our lives. Tea and Madness, inspired by the author's experiences of those changes, is a memoir conveyed through prose and poetry. As she grieved a lost baby and coped with depression, anger, betrayal, and surviving rape, Streetlights learned to accept there are some things she cannot forgive. Within her darkness, however, she discovered the beauty of motherhood and empathetic relationships. Travel with her on her journey as she finds the balance between normalcy and a certain, almost haunting, kind of madness.

"Through her brilliant, crisp writing and admirable, clear-eyed honesty, C. takes us through the seasons of her life in stories and poems that are short enough to read quickly, detailed enough to draw us in, and processed enough to satisfy and offer us hope for our own lives." ~Jeanne H. Chambers, Amazon Reviewer

"Read this book. If you are a woman, it will resonate with you. If you are a man, it will give you incredible insight on what it means to be a woman." ~Charlotte Wooden-Hillis, Amazon Reviewer
