Bergen Beacher
publishes book
from the grave
BY CHANDLER KIDD
A Bergen Beach
woman fulfi lled her
lifelong dream of becoming
an author this
summer — more than
a year after succumbing
to cancer.
Throughout her
more than decade-long
struggle with the fatal
illness, author Michele
Solomon pursued her
passion for writing,
but suffered rejection
after rejection from
publishing houses, and
eventually despaired
that her work would
ever be printed.
But the writer’s
son made his mother
a promise to ensure
her children’s book
“The Adventure of
Hardy the Horse” saw
the light of day, and he
ultimately succeeded
after publisher SevenHorns
released the
book in July — he just
wishes his mom was
around to see it.
“She wasn’t able to
get it published, and
when the cancer came
back and she grew
sicker, she fi gured it
was never going to
happen,” said Jason
Solomon. “My biggest
regret of this whole
process is that she
can’t be here to hold it
in her hands and see it
for herself.”
Michele Solomon
Michele Solomon’s children’s book ‘The Adventure of Hardy
the Horse.’ Mark Poulton
Michele Solomon
was diagnosed with leukemia in 2004,
and while her fi rst run-in with the
disease ultimately ended in triumph,
the Bergen Beacher’s brush with
death would inspire her to follow her
dreams and enroll in a creative-writing
course at Kingsborough Community
College, Jason Solomon said.
It was during that time that the
budding writer authored a story
about a horse named Hardy, the bespectacled,
equine resident of Farmer
Joe’s bucolic ranch, whose fateful decision
to one day escape leads to a series
of mishaps and the company of
new friends.
“It is just so adorable, because Michele
wore glasses all her life and
this about a horse losing his
glasses,” said Solomon’s aunt, Barbara
Greenberg.
But the author struggled for
years to get her book published,
and, in 2015, doctors came to her
with tragic news — the cancer
had returned and it had spread
throughout her body.
Michele Solomon died at the
age of 58 in March 2018, and the
author’s passing devastated her
friends and family, who described
the Bergen Beach writer as a loving,
compassionate woman, who always
put others before herself, even while
she was battling cancer.
But the author’s posthumous victory
in seeing her book published
came as some consolation, if only for
those she left behind, who imagine
the joy she would have felt in seeing
her lifelong dream come true.
“I think that she would be overjoyed,”
said longtime friend Shelley
Garcia. “I think it would have made
her so proud.”
“The Adventure of Hardy the
Horse” can be purchased on Amazon ,
Barnes and Noble , and other online
booksellers.
