About the Book

General Information: Candidreams: I Remember the Beginning is a collection of individual poems woven together to tell a story. Like getting two books in one, readers can read the book cover to cover for the story. The reader can then peruse the individual poems according to their mood, situation or day. I call Candidreams: I Remember the Beginning my "wake up call" or my "discovery" book. As a young adult, I sadly find myself in a spiritually dark and desolate place...one not reflective of the manner I was raised and not reflective of my gifts and potential. I am desperate to recall exactly what happened to me, of all the horrible situations I endured, what changed me from an innocent young girl so full of hopes and dreams to one governed by sadness and despair. I revisit my childhood to discover when and how did this darkness overtake me. Back Cover Information: Candidreams presents a collection of poems chronicling author Candie Ferald's faith and determination not to allow negative circumstances to define her. Though raised in the church, Ferald feels God's unconditional love has somehow bypassed her. Angered by some of the situations of her young life-including death, painful relationships and parental issues-she quickly discovers how to escape herself through sex and drugs. She soon finds herself on the edge of self-destruction, and in this state, she promises her dying grandfather that she will reclaim her life. As she begins that process, Ferald is extremely candid in retelling both the hopeful and tragic events of her journey. We have all had daunting experiences that have challenged our faith and dreams, and we all possess the tools to rise from these traumatic situations. Candidreams offers an inspiring, yet sometimes emotionally difficult collection of poems that follows Candie Ferald as she returns to her former self-or perhaps an even better one. "Do you know how it feels to want something so bad that not having it makes you depressed and sad? Unfulfilled desires and ignored needs, craving so much you can't even see. What happens to those whose dreams never fly? Does all that's real and sincere in them die?" -excerpt from "The Beginning of Darkness" "I knew it would be devastating. I could feel it in my soul. But only from my Mama's lips could I believe what I was told." -excerpt from "The March from March '94" "I have nothing to lose but what I have not had at all. What good is life if I don't fall? Then I can't get up-" -excerpt from "Duality" Although this book is spiritual in nature, there is some material that may NOT be suitable for children.
About the Author: Candie Ferald is the author of two unique and powerful poetic autobiographies, Candidreams: I Remember the Beginning and Role Reversal: Turn Pain Into Power. Candie was born, raised and educated in Southern Virginia. Her family prioritized church and education and they lovingly demanded that Candie do the same. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Virginia Commonwealth University with a B.S. in Psychology where she was inducted into the Golden Key Honor Society. She continued her education by earning her M.S. in Education with a specialization in College and Community Counseling from the then Longwood College. After spending so many years focused on academics, Candie began to explore facets of herself that were overlooked in the classroom. Drawn by its reputation of culture, diversity and opportunity for upward mobility, Candie relocated to metro Atlanta. During a pivotal period of reflection, growth and decision making, she came across an old yearbook and noticed an entry by her 11th grade English teacher. The teacher had instructed Candie to never stop writing. That edict, combined with her empowering experiences in metro Atlanta, spurred Ms. Ferald to to renew her passion for writing. Candie Ferald currently resides in Richmond, Virginia. After years of waiting tables as she wrote and nourished her craft, Candie finally decided to publish her first and second books. She also recently formed her own production company, Little Girl Productions, LLC. The name was inspired by the strength and purity of childhood dreams and the desire to nourish those dreams in others. She is currently working on several projects and is anticipating completing her third novel in the fall.
