Did you ever feel like you were born to do something? I sometimes feel a twinge of envy when I meet or read about someone who always knew what they wanted to do with their life from an early age. So inspired, they are able to hone in and focus on their aspiration, usually brilliantly making it happen. Many of them are child prodigies. Alas, my focus was limited to the children's section of the library. I read through those shelves like nobody's business, accompanying every character on their adventures, amazed and entertained by real and imagined lives, personalities and perspectives so different than my own. Who could decide what to be as a grown-up when there were so many distractions, er, choices found in the pages of a book? Could it be I followed the clues and finally figured it out?
Book Excerpt
Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre
“We are twins.” His voice sounds far away. “Born to ride horses.”
“So you’re kinda like a cowboy?”
He playfully pokes her in the shoulder blade. “Sí, but no cows in Chicago.” She gives him a backward elbow, but he catches it just in time. “Right, just steak.” They both chuckle at his joke for a minute and fall silent. She glances at the vacant building.
“Okay, city gaucho. You want to help save a carriage horse, right? Well, we gotta have a plan. My dad always says, ‘You need an edge to overcome uncertainty.’ And things are kind of uncertain right now, don’t you think?”
