The Rose (ePub)

Born in Harlem New York; Frankie David Rawlerson spent his childhood in Brooklyn and Queens in the fifties and sixties. After the death of his parents at a very early age; he was raised by his loving southern family which consisted of scores of uncles, aunts, and extended family. Among them were church folk, number runners, partiers, and some very colorful characters that became the inspiration for the writings he would later put to pen and paper. Vivid memories of Friday night card parties, Saturday night clubbing, and Sunday dinners at Momma’s house still spark loving memories.
Although growing up in the cities of New York; it was the summer trips and vacations down south as child that nurtured his desire to one day return to his inherited roots. After High School, he served honorably as a Vietnam Combat Veteran in the US Army and returned to New York where he continued his education through the GI Bill at Fordham University. It was there that he discovered his gift for storytelling, writing short stories, and poetry. Relocating from New York in 1978, he and his young family lived in Atlanta Georgia and South Florida where he pursued a successful career in Marketing and Sales Management. Now retired, and living in South Florida; he decided to fulfil his dream of completing this exciting novel. Based on fond childhood memories and stories passed down by family elders and years of extensive historical research; he has created this monumental and epic classic; THE ROSE “Saga of an American Family”.
