Daughters Who Shape Us May we be your best example of speaking the ugly truth May you never be soiled or spoiled or talked into anything you don’t want to do May you remain untainted and uninhibited in all your glorious nakedness Never know shame by the hands or wants or manipulation of another fucker Man, oh man May you never hear great tits and ass when you walk down
Snow falls on the grass on this almost March day, trees already in prepubescent bloom. What the fuck is happening? Global warming has her own plans, shaking things up on this insignificant, tiniest piece of the puzzle, planet earth. She is happy for the ugly, backward mess. She won’t walk today, but will curl up in silence and self-protection closing her eyes instead; drifting off and dreaming about the walkabout will suffice. In her dreams
Wake Me, I’m Dead Dreaming By Jacqueline Cioffa I rip you to shreds with my bleeding ink spot leaking heart pride I hate you, I despise you with the bitter guts and boiling blood that festers inside It’s all a waking dream and I’m suffocating Where, so where do I place the fear I carry so heavy too heavy to mind I’m quite sure my heart will give out long

5.0 out of 5 stars GEORGIA PINE by Jacqueline Cioffa GEORGIA PINE (Kindle Edition) “An amazing read. The author weaves tragedy, love, family, suspense and disappointment into an amazing story. I have not read The Vast Landscape yet but after this, I know I’ll be adding it to my list of must read books.

5 Stars #BookReview: “Kudos to you, JC for enchanting us once again – GEORGIA PINE Whoa…what a ride!!! Somehow Jacqueline Cioffa managed to tie up some loose ends from her first novel, The Vast Landscape (a must read if you haven’t already) and stir up a whole lot more delving into the narrator’s story as well as those connected to her. I literally read it in a couple of days
THE VAST LANDSCAPE #FREE on Amazon Kindle from Aug 15 to 19 #Romance #LitFic #FamilySaga “An amazing story of love, loss, and hope.” ~Amazon Reviewer The Vast Landscape was never ours to begin with, we are all tenants of the same good earth. Surrounded by the enchanting tourist attractions, one forgets. One becomes enamored by the sounds, smells and tastes. Time? Time mattered less. ~ Jacqueline Cioffa #Quotes #TheVastLandscape http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H3P51LS
THE VAST LANDSCAPE 5-Stars and I loved every single moment of it “Jacqueline Cioffa writes with such a soul stirring intensity that it can’t help but ignite a passion in her readers.

This is one of those authors that you just can’t wait to see what is coming next!” -Amazon review #Amazon
This is my story. Boots and a bag, sherbet sunrise, an extended furlough at the beach, the Cove, side-trip to the bayou and the self-confinement of four walls inside a nowhere home (a whole lot of love, shock and awe, bizarre happens, heartbreak, joy, birth, rebirth, gritty life stuff). Dual realities co-existing in parallel space and time. Bam we’re back to the boots and full throttle. The Vast Landscape and Georgia Pine are continuums; sagas and gatekeepers. One cannot be without
