Leaves of Wisdom
A new book released in March, 2022!
Leaves of Wisdom - a beautiful book of poetry written by one of Florida's citizens, Pearl A. Gonsalves (1920-2005). Pearl was the recipient of several poetry and community awards and is published in poetry anthologies by the National Library of Poetry and the International Library of Poetry, United States of America. She was a member of the International Society of Poets and enjoyed serving the communities in New Jersey where she lived before her retirement in sunny Florida. Pearl passed away in Cape Coral, Florida, in 2005. Her wish was to have her two books of poetry sold to benefit the populations we serve - the vulnerable and destitute orphans and women around the world.
Pearl's next book of poetry Whispers of Angels, will be published soon.
