    About this ebook

    The book Carousel comes from the authors personal Journals and reflects on the ups and downs that interpersonal relationships can undergo. It contains the story of the early relationship the author had with one of her dogs, a mini-poodle named Miller; a relationship that lasted over seventeen years. The final part of the book contains inspirational thoughts to meditate on for healing and self growth.

      Dec 7, 2021

      Around me are fifty or so men, in whose company I will sit and be silent for ten days. I eye them discreetly, wondering who among them is going through a crisis. Who, like me, has a family. Who’s single, who’s been dumped, who’s poor or unhappy. Who’
