A Tale That Tells Time is a collection of poems produced by the author Breanna Martel over a period of several years. Breanna writes poetry as a coping method which she states helps her deal with the emotional pain she has endured as a result of loss, abuse and many hospital mishaps that has left her permanently disfigured and dependent on a care giver for the rest of her life. The author hopes that by reading this book readers will use their life experiences to better their own lives and those of others.
