            One Day’s Peace is a collection of poetry that begins with a letter to the Creator from His daughter and ends with a letter to the Creator’s daughter from the Creator Himself.

            This beautiful book of poetry and reflection takes the journey from the birth of a girl child to the stages of elder hood. 

            Tanya R. Bates uses the passion in her soul to paint a picture of the curvy course of life of a woman.  From “Dipped in Water” a poem of a little girl overcoming her fears of her first baptism to “Peacefully Single” a poem that expresses the freedom and no worries.

            One Day’s Peace allows the reader to reflect on their life journey and is equipped with a “My Thought’s Journal” to track your thoughts along the way.

            In One Day’s Peace, Mrs. Bates shows the enthusiasm of a woman experiencing and learning from life, all the while trying to find her way, her place and satisfaction in the Father.
