Our hopes, joys, and sadness all find their way onto the page sculpted by our own experience. Friendship, love, loss, grief, decisions made, dreams extinguished, plans realized -these shape our lives and define who we are. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a reflection of my years as a print and broadcast journalist, copy editor, fiction writer, and occasional poet. Many subjects on these pages spring from personal experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poems come from times of wondering, searching and growing. The essays and short stories are largely fictional, and the characters are mostly composites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you write frequently or only occasionally, it means you have something to say. Put your words on paper and share them. You never know how they might touch someone else and inspire their own journey. If you are uncertain, join a writing group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWonderful encouragement came to me from fellow writers and poets in classes at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina, sessions with Coffee with Poets and Writers and Netwest Bee City Poets in Hayesville, North Carolina, and critiques during Room for Poetry gatherings in Young Harris, Georgia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lorraine Martin Bennett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1665310898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781665310895\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Booklogix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Lorraine Martin Bennett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965574627583,"sku":"9781665310895","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58879e69-43fc-4038-959b-d549b89b3c93.jpg?v=1767281459","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reflections-lorraine-martin-bennett-9781665310895","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
