Memoir is my favorite form of writing to read. I look forward to reading your story, it sounds like it has a happy ending, contentment is a great place to be. How wonderful your mother was able to express in writing that she was proud of you.

so much honesty and truth in this prologue. I am looking forward to reviewing your work. I will visit your portfolio. You have indeed become the person you were meant to be. Just like you, writing has helped me escape the past and love the life I have. Thank you for your insight.

I for one would read thus project. I was looking the other day at writing prompts and they suggested writing about what you know. Certainly a biography is something you know better than anyone.
Good luck with this project.

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
It's so exciting starting on a new project -
not yet knowing where it will take you -
but you have the talent and the means
at your finger-tips to take us on the
journey with you, and I for one, am looking
forward to reading it.
As my novel draws to a close [and](,) I find myself in search of another project. - and not needed
Blessings,
Margaret

Comment from Ulla
Hi Patty, this is a great prologue into your biography. It serves very well as an intro into what you are going to tell us about your life. Well done. All the best. Ulla:)))

Comment from giraffmang
Hi there,
This works very well as a prologue. It gives good indicators as to what the book will entail and the areas it will touch upon.
A well written opening salvo.
All the best

Comment from Dean Kuch
Like you, Patty, I am constantly surrounded by books and dogs nestled close by.
Unlike you, however, I have no spouse who loves me.
Your childhood does not have to make you into the person you are today.
If you had a horrific childhood with a great deal of trauma, you can still rise above all that and become a success.
On the same token, there are some people who led a perfect childhood but still grew to become selfish, egotistical, very vile human beings.
WE decide how we choose to act and how we wish to treat others.
No One, not even God Himself, can make those kinds of decisions for us.
I live by this mantra:
"If I am not fortunate enough to be blessed myself, at least I can do my very best to be a blessing to others."
Good luck with your latest project.

Mustangpatty, you are obviously a very strong woman to have come through and overcome your early years. It sounds like it will be an interesting project for you, to go back to your great-grandparents resettlement. Good luck with it.
cheers.

Comment from lyenochka
Thanks for this prologue. (Your note from Wikipedia is missing a couple of letters in " gos, "word")," "gos" should be "logos.") It's good to know that the story has a happy outcome in your life today.

Comment from Thal1959
Everything sounds interesting. But, married at 18! That may explain the mustang before the name Patty - you seemed to gallop right into that relationship! But don't get me wrong. As many difficulties as you may have had, you have lived a more fuller and a hell of a lot more productive life than I have. Good luck with the book.
