Has traveled abroad and has a background as versified as her poetry.\u003cp\u003e In September 1999 she moved into the old part of Seabrook, close to the Kemah bridge. Needing to be as close to the sea as she could be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Dreams and nightmares began and she began to keep a journal of them, not realizing exactly what they were until someone told her that it sounded like she might be dreaming of Galveston. When she bought a computer she began to do research on the names she had imagined\/Dreamed, finding them to be real people. She finally organized her poetry and prose with the only thought of preserving them for her Grandchildren. Finally deciding to publish them, hoping they would not be received in a negative way. Either way it has been cathartic for her as she continues to live by the bay with her little blind dog, writing her book and illustrating them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595455171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean Elizabeth Ward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52239139635381,"sku":"9780595455171","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0a96ded2-dbf7-48ff-b612-662bdac25d31.jpg?v=1770916918","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/galveston-before-1901-an-old-man-who-lived-there-before-the-hurricane-of-1900-9780595455171","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
