Alias "The Rose"

Alias "The Rose" is a 23-year collection of eclectic poety by Laura Porras. She draws on life experience and the people around her in various ways, playing with the words as she goes. Laura allows us to use all five senses while enjoying her work. She wants everyone to know that they too have a voice and that silence in any form only brings about disregard in every form. In her title piece, "Alias 'The Rose'", Laura describes in essence coming out of her shell and having her voice finally heard. She drew on the support of those around her and was able to talk about the secrets that were holding her back emotionally. Once she opened up, like a rose in full bloom, she was able to "let her petals fall" in a literary sense and expand on her life, letting it take her where it may. Finally coming full circle as an adult, she was able to make life a "learning and growing" experience rather than a daily struggle. All of her work incorporates this idea and challenges us to look at life through her eyes for a while. Laura lives with her husband and children in Yelm, Washington.

A Promise to God – Synopsis

By Laura M. Porras

“A Promise to God” walks you through the life and times of a humble servant of God. Every aspect of Campbell Iverson’s life is explored, from his mother’s start in Norway, to his death from a broken heart in Olympia, Washington in November of 1988.

The first Chapter – Mother of Courage - explores his mother Anna and what drove her to carry on in situations most of us would run away from. The next few chapters go directly to Cam and the challenges he faced, how he dealt with them, the miracles he witnessed, and the Promise he made and kept.

The final Chapter –His Legend Lives On - walks you through the memories of those that knew him and how a simple man changed their lives; many firsthand accounts are relayed in these pages.

“A Promise To God” will give you hope that one person really can make a difference in this world. Written by a family friend, this book explores many emotions and miracles, definitions and underlying meanings, giving the reader a spectacular view of a humble man’s life!
