I finally settled in California where I found...then later lost...a husband.I worked for an amazing man who was a small animal veterinarian, a famous man who was an amazing thoroughbred racehorse trainer, and then a major newspaper. I bred and raced slow racehorses, ever hoping for a fast one. I was raised by my two children. Now that they are off to seek their fortunes, I am left to look back upon my life and see that it has fallen quite short of what I had imagined it would be. Most of the dreams are shattered or completely unrecognizable.One of my fondest dream has been to tell the stories, meet out the wisdom, and paint the picture of courage, beauty, love, tragedy, and cruelty in my poems and then given them to the world. If this one dream of all the dreams can now be fulfilled, perhaps I will find peace...\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brilliant Books Literary","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43180713082995,"sku":"9.79889E+12","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_13ada786-4985-4e84-95c7-4b14a63724d3.jpg?v=1752058933","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/tales-from-the-disenchanted-and-wisdom-from-the-haiku-9798889453536","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
