Take one teddy bear, gifted in 1969
by a travelling relative
to a little girl,
Add years of companionship, imagination and whimsical adventures.
Gently pull back the curtain
covering
adolescent memories
of hurt
and loss.
Dig out a box containing a pile of rushed attempts for a last-minute application to a graphic arts program.
Brush aside that memory of rejection and appreciate being able to move along a meandering life path.
Give your childhood companion immortality by publishing a novel about Fate, Family and Forgiveness.
Feel the warm memories of motherhood, stories shared and books read to your own children.
Dust off your old companion, give him spotlight to share reading recommendations for children and adults.
Thank you for reading.

Very nice Theresa
Thank you for reading, Ian.
Better than nice; it entices me to read more, despite being so far behind I’ll never catch up.

Thank you for reading, John. I hope to have the second print edition of the novel out in a few years. Otherwise, there’s always Smashwords for the current ebook version.
