Daughter of a Rogue(The Poem)-is a riveting, heart-wrenching and utterly fascinating account of her father, and everything she has ever wanted to say to him. It pulls no punches, and although it is filled with emotion, it is by no means maudlin or sentimental. by Joseph Verrilli
Daughter of a Rogue: By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
In this book of one word lines of pain, Stephanie Hilpert strikes out against her fears and shares her love and her pain of being the child of a homeless schizophenic father. She draws vivid pictures of her childhood and the extent of her father's illness.
Though I found the set-up of the pages a bit hard to understand initially (one word per line with no punctuation), I did enjoy the book and hope that she expands upon her craft with either a full-length novel or a collection of poetry.

Excerpt
No Title
How delicate the heart
when she opens herself
like a spring flower
to the season,
but how painful
when even the season
she trusted turns
to summer and burns
