{"product_id":"9780992384524","title":"The Dreaming Heart","description":"Thank God, I am a risk-taker. My diary is evidence. I wanted adventure. Perhaps romance. I needed to prove that, at forty, I was not too old to find romance. My instinct told me that the time was right. I went to Turkey in mid-1993 and found both adventure and love. I also predicted that my diary of my year in Turkey would form the basis for a romantic novel. It has done so.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this novel based on my diary, I am Kate, a forty-year-old teacher and loving, single mother of four sons. I have been with my Australian school for twenty years, and now I feel it is time for a break from my responsibilities as a parent. It’s time to welcome new adventures and, hopefully, romance. I jump at an offer to take a year’s leave from my school and teach in Istanbul. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy diary shows how I live life to the full. As I write this novel, I can read the sequence of events that led to perhaps the most romantic, challenging, exciting, scary times in my life. And I can be eternally grateful that I did jump in and face life. At the start of my year in Turkey, two handsome, well-educated men became potential romantic interests. And then, unexpectedly, a third man came into my life.","brand":"Bradley PJB Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119049785584,"sku":"9780992384524","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780992384524_p0.jpg?v=1763899086","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780992384524","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
