Karma, Deception and a Pair of Red Ferraris: A Memoir

Desperate for a peek at her future, Taylor consulted an astrologer-psychic who whipped out her Tarot cards, did her woo-woo thing and assured her she would someday be blessed with the kind of love about which stories are written.

by Elaine Taylor —

As a teen mom, already branded by one husband as domineering and dumb as meat-locker beef, Taylor stutter-stepped to independence via jobs typing letters and dialing phones for a series of mouth-breathers who believed a woman’s place was under the desk.

A couple of decades later, she had scratched out a role in the corporate testicle festival where she earned fat, man-sized paychecks.

She had bought herself respect and vindication, but her personal life was a dispiriting trail of relationship roadkill.

Her one faithful love walked on four legs and woofed for breakfast.

Desperate for a peek at her future, Taylor consulted an astrologer-psychic who whipped out her Tarot cards, did her woo-woo thing and assured her she would someday be blessed with the kind of love about which stories are written.

But, she added, not until you are ready.

Enter Jake, an internationally acclaimed surgeon with a 100-acre ranch in wine country, two Ferraris in his several garages, and enough love-life failures to make them as compatible as a can of whipped cream and a Brazilian wax.

Was he the key to the love she sought?

Yes; but in a way no one could have imagined.

The book is a transformational journey of healing and of Taylor achieving the self-esteem she had always faked, and of finding the courage to open her heart and give the kind of love she so yearned to receive.
