Cher Bibler is a poet. Every word she chooses weaves a story that evokes strong images and ideas, at times haunting and soul-searching, always thought-provoking. The reader does not necessarily walk away with a sense of satisfaction or affirmation, but rather, we are compelled to examine our most private thoughts and inner struggles of self-worth and our place in a society that does not always reward us for our personal successes and achievements. We find ourselves looking in the mirror, evaluating who we are, who we want to be and who the world thinks we should be.The narrative of I Am Never Sure When follows Billie as she struggles with personal relationships-a married man, who may, or may not, notice her in the real world, a friend Julian who has achieved worldly success as an artist, a mother who is a cold and distant stranger, and a father who is little more than a ghost. Billie has chosen a life of writing poetry, and while that decision brings personal satisfaction and fulfillment, it is not without its costs. I Am Never Sure When is, at times, like taking a peek into the most intimate thoughts one might write in a diary. Each chapter is followed by a brief poem to nicely compliment the narrative of the story. An excellent read! ---Jill Benson, author of Witch
