Advanced Praise

“Young people these days have the knowledge of the world literally at their fingertips, but where are they finding the guidance to discover, and then learn to cherish, the deepest knowledge of all—an understanding of the core of themselves? That’s where people like Twila French come in. Think of The Path to Discover Your True Core Self as a practical guidebook full of wisdom, seasoned by her own long journey, for those privileged to be working in some capacity with the marvelous human beings we call teens. Is there any stage of life more bursting with possibility? That this wise elder felt a poem I wrote long ago might serve to help enlighten what is hiding behind the masks we all wear, well, let’s just say, I am honored.”

—Charles “Charlie” Finn, octogenarian poet in the mountains of Virginia, cheering the power of well-written words, and author of Please Hear What I’m Not Saying: A Poem’s Reach Around the World

“I was impressed with the structure and clarity. This needs to be taught as a subject in middle schools. It could help students who may be dealing with low self-esteem and could prevent some destructive behaviors in the future.”
