Description
Missing Mummy looks at alcoholism and the effects it can have on a family. It provides an insight into the complex emotions of a child growing up with an alcoholic parent, whose mother was also an alcoholic. The poetry takes a journey of recovery to end with a message of hope, acceptance and forgiveness.
About the Author
Emma Spiegler has compiled a variety of 30 poems to offer the reader an insight into addiction and its consequences. Having lived with an alcoholic mother for 20 years, she has seen her mother suffer greatly from mental illness, and her mother has now entered the beautiful world of sobriety, stopping the cycle of addiction.
Book Extract
The Untold Memories Of Past Souls
A sadness filled stem
Only told by its droopiness
Foreverness in a stream of worries
A broken trust bond time and time again
Tears of a bird that only remains in the sky
Children left dying
With only self preservation to survive
Share your warmth with me
Just a little or two
Touch me you monster
Before I internalise you
Envelope the creatures that so desperately crave for affection
Capture the wicked whose heads must be stamped on
Death is intolerable even words can't describe
Emotions like waterfalls
Each trickle access denied
Killing sprees are destined as are too the embryo's
Life is a journey that will never be known
Open your eyes and your secrets will pour
Fixing your hairs only closes your pores
Giving hope of the daylight
Safety of the infinite stars
Grazing the knuckles
When there are already scars
Starving the nations
Bleeding them dry
Versace and lip-gloss
There is something in my eye
Quietness is bliss
But then company is missed
Laughter is a blessing
For there is beauty in pain
Love is a gift
With a thousand names
Growth is a promise
We must keep to ourselves
Patience is a virtue
That must be sold on shelves
Time is a present
Today is my feast
Water is my sanctuary where I defeat the beasts
Peoples are searching
Expression through nature
Countries are crying
Mothers dumped in a dumpster
Forgetting an art form and love a true wonder
Greed a phenomenon
And guilt a natural disaster
Heaven's doors crushed on blindness forever
Never finding
Oppressing creation
Memories are whispers
Heard everywhere
Pictures are blinkers on what was truly there
Skin is as real as you make it be
Happiness will come when you set yourself free
Disenfranchised my favourite word
Never ending rainbows
His histories repeating
Depression is a theme
With a life-force of its own
Sanity is only necessary
When the grass has overgrown
Mixing and matching
Like eve's forbidden fruit
Man made religion
Designed only to confuse
Those who give in and become blinded by tradition
People are amazing
A new realisation
Fear is disgusting and that's why you're washing
Denial is a secret
Oblivious to its reflection
Constantly rejecting a deserved connection
Don't look back or the ocean will tide over you
Running too fast will not cure your broken shoe
Lightening the bolt down
Freeing the storm
Unravelling true desire in its truest form
Always wanting
What others have got
Finishing the story before it gets too hot!

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
