    Leonie Phoenix

    Letters to the Rock is the story of a spiritual journey, told in poems. It is a personal journey which starts out with trying to hold on to a rock on shifting sands, passing through the ensuing conflict, to the healing process, and eventual trust in the True Rock, Jesus Christ. Leonie Phoenix is a qualified life coach. She hopes that through sharing her experiences, she can help others find new meaning and purpose in their lives. She lives in the Caribbean with her husband and children.
