Relatable is a collection of easy-to-read rhyming poems exploring marriage, divorce, parenting, mental health, and so much more. While some poems were written when the poet was a kid, most are inspired by all of the life events Candice has experienced as an adult. When she was only eighteen years old, Candice was with a man twenty years older, and they were engaged to be married a year later. She became a business owner at the age of twenty and was the bread winner for her family. Struggling financially, Candice felt the severe pressures of being poor, all while still trying to get ahead. But she continued to work extremely hard, even during both of her pregnancies, only taking a month off after the births in order to support her family. After she had her babies when she was twenty-four and twenty-five years old, Candice finally realized her narcissist husband was taking advantage of her. She left the abusive marriage when her babies were ten months old and twenty-two months old. With his severe abuse towards her and absence from the kids, Candice got full custody and raised her babies alone with no father, until God answered her prayers. Candice met the love of her life, and he showed her what love and acceptance truly feels like. They married two years later, followed by him adopting her children. She was further blessed by inheriting his two boys, and now she has the big family she’s always dreamed of. These life events, all the hardships and joys, inspired Candice to write this book.Inspiring and poignant, Relatable reflects on life’s challenges with candor and vulnerability. These poems show the power of persistence, faith, and love.
