Sometimes adults never let go of the childhood pain caused by someone they loved dearly: especially a woman whose daddy walked out on her at a young age. Sometimes she remains chained to the pain of trying to figure out what love really is and how a man should love her-things fathers should always prepare their daughters for. "The Kiss That Almost Killed Me" will take you on a roller-coaster ride that forces you to deal with different emotions. How you choose to handle the experience is entirely up to you. Often, we put ourselves in situations and relationships without consulting God, mainly because we get impatient, envious, and too stubborn to do things the right way, and we don't get to choose the consequences. In this book, my prayer is that you will receive wisdom, forgiveness, and answers to unknown questions you may have pondered about. Please allow this book to minister to you and to encourage you to keep pushing, trust God, and know that everything has a way of working itself out in due time. "The Kiss That Almost Killed Me" is a work of fiction from the Annie Johnson Collection.

I have been a poetry lover all my life, and I have been writing poetry for 62 years. I love all the classical poets and their words and have many personal favorites, among which is Shelley, Keats, Yeats, Teasdale, Browning, Burns, Hardy, Dickinson and Dylan Thomas. All of them inspired my writing and filled my soul with poetic fire. I hope that my poetry, in some way, touches the soul of those who read it.
