Do you want to get killed? These are racehorse!

Sir, I won't get killed; I was born on a horse.

This poetic memoir is summed up thematically by country, family, nature, God, and aging. In it, you will discover a unique blend of past and present, struggle and success.

A Simple Smile, Dorothy Mahfood's debut poetry collection, is delightful yet poignant, with an undercurrent of expectant hope.
