Reissued and augmented, this is the first volume of the Whiskey poetry trilogy. Whiskey, Words, and a Shovel, Vol. 1, is about reclaiming your strength on the road to a healthy relationship. It is a testament to choosing to love yourself, even if it means heartache. Each poem has been revised and renewed to reflect the author's ongoing emotions. In this work, Samantha King is the inspiration, every woman who has felt she is not enough, and every woman who struggles to find love.
