He ruled the country until his death in the early '80s. This was actually foretold to me when I was seven years old by an old gypsy woman who frequently visited my Grandma Baker by reading her palm and then mine, where a long road of adventure and a very hard but successful life began, filled with all the gifts and good friends that led to many rewarding enterprises and a beautiful family and home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was blessed and lucky: a community pioneer, active in sports, a member of community organizations, builder of a Catholic Church, married to a beautiful wife, father of two lovely daughters. And then, years later, tragedy struck my family. First, my wife and I separated and I became Mr. Mom. Then my older daughter Tania got mauled by a tiger and died, leaving two children, Adrienne and Nicholas. Nine years later, my younger daughter Vesna was murdered, and to top it all off I was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer: 8-12 months to live. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI survived it all. Eight months later, my doctors, Dr. Kay and Dr. Miller, called me a miracle. I was born on November 9, 1931. This is where it all began, and the gypsy woman did not miss very much.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leon Dumstrey-Soos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0228805848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780228805847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tellwell Talent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.62d","brand":"Leon Dumstrey-Soos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913453732095,"sku":"9780228805847","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f3f72a32-9f15-4bcd-86d8-7f9cd6a8302d.jpg?v=1680620480","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-life-story-of-a-leon-dumstrey-soos-9780228805847","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
