Some people will connect with the material and others may not.\u003cp\u003e  I hope as you read this book, you will connect with something in a poem or essay. In our hearts, we each have a story to tell and I encourage you as I was encouraged, to share that story, that poem or those thoughts in some way with another person just as I have done in Pine Cones and Pearls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Over the years I have “dabbled” in writing poetry and short stories. Most of them had been placed in a book, tucked away in a closet and forgotten. This book is the result of cleaning out the closet. These writings are a combination of old and new material that depict experiences occurring in my life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156725383408,"sku":"9781440105852","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781440105852_p0.jpg?v=1763787099","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781440105852","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
