Carmel, IN Author Publishes Poetry Collection

It Ends Well, a new book by Samantha Schleeter, has been released by RoseDog Books.

While growing up, Samantha was a seemingly joyful child. She got along with others, was talkative, and never stopped laughing. This was because she always wore a mask. This mask changed everything that made her, her. This hid her sadness from others but also, her true personality. She picked apart and manipulated every aspect of this new face to create a whole new person. Instead of facing the grief of losing her sister head on, or the numerous mental illnesses poured on her plate, she spent her time perfecting every part of her body and personality. After years of comparing, judging, and downgrading herself, she hit a breaking point. She didn't know where else to turn. So, Samantha started pouring her emotions out by writing. Although not realizing this initially, writing poetry became an outlet and helped Samantha emerge from a long depression.

It Ends Well takes the reader through this grueling journey of pain and loss. Samantha discusses body image, self harm, the death of her sister, sexual assault, and the deep emotions she was feeling, but didn't know how to process. The worst parts of her life are within these pages, but so are the best. She finds herself and her true meaning as the book progresses. Watch her grow and mature, and find out who she wants to be. She hopes that through her journey, the readers can see, everyone's story truly does end well.

It Ends Well is a 350-page paperback with a retail price of $24.00 (eBook $19.00). The ISBN is 979-8-88604-642-7. It was published by RoseDog Books of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
