Through the art of rhyming and poetry Jordan Sarah Weatherhead writes about things from timeless issues that affect everyone, such as love, discrimination, and self-discovery, up to things that are current or may only reach out to a certain audience, such as the war in Iraq, drinking, and sex. At times "Naked Truth" becomes dark and ominous, while remaining raw and real. This book offers a wide variety of poems which offer hope and encouragement. Whether it's a chapter about magic and myth or travel and nature or even deployment and long distance love, Weatherhead stays brutally honest and vividly descriptive, from beginning to end. No matter the chapter you'll find her poetry easy to read and even more so, easy to relate to. So open the cover and dive into a world where everyday life and challenges are explained in a way you've never heard before. Enter a world where no matter how low or down you may be in your life, you are not alone. There is always a brightness leaking under the door of a dark room. Always a perfect streaked arch ready to paint the sky after the clouds are done crying, and, things no matter how bad they get, will always get better. And this book will prove that.

Author Biography

Jordan Sarah Weatherhead comes from just about the smallest town anyone can imagine. Raised in Leonard, North Dakota until the age of 18, Weatherhead always had an imagination that ran right out of her head and onto paper. Always drifting off in school classes to worlds of magic and monsters, sunshine and adventure, she often got in trouble for being the girl who never put the pen down and never kept her head up. While on a vacation in Hawaii with her best friend at the age of 16, Weatherhead found something she hadn't before believed in; love. One trip to paradise and her world had changed forever. Now instead of just daydreaming about adventures, she was about to embark on one. Writing went from being a distracting hobby to a necessity for letting out her teenage angst and long distance love that no one around her thought would last. Being published in a book of poetry at age 18 lit the fire for Weatherhead even more. Jordan moved to Detroit, Michigan after high school graduation to be with her soul mate from Hawaii, Chad. From the moment that the summer after her high school graduation began, she knew there were two things in life she wanted: A life with Chad and to be a writer. Moving around from Michigan, Florida, and North Dakota and back to Michigan, Jordan and Chad had a son, got married, survived his deployment to Iraq, and encountered many more of life's experiences along the way. Weatherhead never once stopped writing and through the ups and downs in life she relentlessly put down onto paper the rawest feelings of her adventures. Never feeling completely understood in her life, Weatherhead now puts out this amazing book of emotions for the world to read. Jordan Weatherhead is a strong and outspoken individual with a 'never-back-down, in-your-face' attitude. Her family, friends, and life lessons are all reasons this book is possible, but the major driving force behind her words will always be Chad. Jordan now resides in Detroit, Michigan with her husband and son where she enjoys poker, live music, traveling, basketball, tattoos, being with friends, and staying in touch with her family back home. She plans on putting out other books in the years to come and to keep her dream alive of a life with Chad and being a writer. Weatherhead believes passion and love are the biggest forces in this world, and if you have those two things, you can achieve miracles.
