Synopsis

This book is a combination of an editorial written by myself for the literary magazine, JAW, co-produced by myself and a friend for 2 years, the beginning of a screenplay, some poetry, and several short stories. I started the book 9 years ago as the thesis for my undergraduate BA degree which I received from Goddard College, VT. Originally it also included a survey of one novelist, Elizabeth Berg, and three famous women poets, in order to place myself in the field of writing and compare/contrast the growth pattern my writing took through the years. I elected to take those out, to avoid any copyright issues, and prove this book is about a 'dream fullfillment' and what I hope to be the beginning of my book publishing career. As a single Mom of three boys now for 8 years I have struggled to succeed and have grown in ways which I never thought possible. I finished my BA in English and Women's History, and moved on to pursue my MA in Teaching, which I graduated with on September 11th, 2007. Although, I 'appear' to be poor, I am filled with 'riches'--spiritual ones! I hope this book serves as an inspiration for all single Mom's--to never give up on your dreams, they are there, waiting for you to find them and if we are to keep 'hope' alive for us and our children, we must not give up.

About this title

About the Author:

My name is Gina Marie Lee-my maiden name is Gina Marie Guido. I was recently divorced for the 2nd time in my life and I can tell you it's been no picnic. This book was started between 1998-2000 during the culmination of my undergraduate BA degree in English and Women's History from Goddard College in Vermont. That was eight years ago. I graduated on September 11th, 2007 with my Masters degree in Teaching from Kaplan University. I live in the Upper Adirondack region of NY State and am the proud single mother of three beautiful boys, Joshua-13, Elijah-11 and Nicholas-9. This book is wholeheartedly dedicated to them. They deserve the wonder and contentment that life has to offer when we choose our own personal path to fulfillment and happiness. My real goal in publishing is to show them to never give up on your dreams-to keep trying and pushing that envelope in life-strive for what you want, because in the end it is our own hearts, minds and consciousness we sleep with at night.
