Trauma & Drama

This is the story of the fulfillment of a man's dream after retirement. When I met Earle Winderman, we were both single, divorced and ready to embark on the last chapter of our lives together. After a long and successful life that included surviving World War II, earning a master's degree in English literature from Columbia and a career as Vice President of Finances at Lincoln University, Earle was eager to reinvent himself. He wanted to immerse himself in another culture in Mexico. Accompanied by a hybrid wolf he named Runner, Earle moved to lamos, Mexico in the state of Sonora, where he began learning Spanish and hunting for an adobe house to buy, renovate and transform into a Spanish-style home for the two of us to share. But first, he had to battle the elements, find a team of maestros to build three gravity-defying domes and make friends from both sides of the border to help him turn his dream into a reality.
