Jen Lowry's first book of Southern poetry is reminiscent of childhood days gone passed, parents journeying on, and finding out what it means to keep going after they're gone. Inspired by her life events, Jen writes from her heart, and this collection is just that - a heartfelt testimony of an everyday woman. This book is broken into two parts. Shaping includes poetry from Jen's memories of her childhood, from front porch swings, wishing on weeds, and catching lightning bugs in a Mason jar. Modeling shares the struggles, pain, hope, and joy of Jen's adult life and learning how to move on from her parent's passing on.  "But now, LORD, you are our father. We are the clay, and you are our potter. All of us are the work of your hand." Isaiah 64:8.
